Celebrate the era of steam power with Ugears gorgeous model of a 19th century – UGEARS Steam Locomotive and Tender. Despite being powered by a rubber-band motor, it’s ingenious system of visibly functioning asynchronous pistons and valves connected to drive wheels through moving rods and linkages creates a beautiful working example of a steam engine’s operations. The most popular model at our Kickstarter campaign, Steam Locomotive features real life details such: fully equipped engineer’s cab with retractable step ladder, art-deco boiler trim, and a Tender with functioning doors. A perfect gift for model train enthusiasts.
Ugears locomotive is driven by rubber bands and a gear array instead of superheated steam, but otherwise its main mechanism looks and operates very much like that of a real steam engine. Up close you can see working asynchronous pistons and valves that transfer power to the locomotive’s drive wheels through a moving system of rods, linkages and cranks.
Small touches like a fully detailed engineer’s cab with retractable step ladder, art-deco boiler trim, and open-up Tinder with coal doors complete this beautiful reminder of a bygone era.
