Steam locomotive 460, 3D wooden model

Instead of being powered by high-temperature steam, this model is driven by a train of gears and rubber bands, but otherwise, its main mechanism is very similar to that of a real steam engine. You'll be able to see how the valves and asynchronous pistons work, transmitting all the power to the locomotive's drive wheels through a system of connecting rods, joints, and cranks.

Small details, such as the carefully designed driver's cab with a retractable ladder, the art-deco boiler trim, the retractable roof, and the tender's coal hatches, complete this beautiful reminder of a bygone era. The UGEARS 460 locomotive with tender is one of the largest and most complex models; however, thanks to the brand's patented plywood joints and rigorous engineering and quality control processes, a diligent and patient hobbyist can complete this model in one sitting. It comes with detailed, step-by-step, full-color instructions that are easy to follow.

UGEARS creates attractive and imaginative mechanical models made of wood that move independently and can be assembled without glue.

Their designs are inspired by real-life mechanisms and demonstrate their love of art and ingenuity. At UGEARS, they believe that building these beautiful models should also be fun, and they dedicate their expertise to the field of engineering.

The meticulous testing and quality control of their products have a single objective: to ensure that their models provide a captivating and rewarding experience for the whole family.
