Description
Like all of our mechanical models, 3d puzzles, wooden puzzle boxes, robots, automatons and kinetic sculptures, the Ugears V-Express Steam Train is not simply a beautiful static model, it’s a working piece of machinery. One full winding will give your V-Express enough energy to cover a distance of up to four meters (13 feet) as you send it down its track. You can change the direction of movement by switching a small lever on the side of the locomotive’s body. The locomotive has three settings: forward, back and idle. When the mechanism is in idle you can observe the workings of the moving elements without having to worry that your train will race off, as it does in forward mode. The other exciting option of your new model is to switch it to “back” or reverse setting, then watch as your V-Express locomotive rolls backward and automatically hooks up with its coal Tender.
