This delightful set offers a thoroughly enjoyable pastime both as an intricate wooden model to build and, once assembled, as a working miniature locomotive. The level of real-life detail is absolutely stunning and includes a fully equipped engineer's cab with retractable step ladder, art-deco boiler trim, and a Tender with functioning doors. Perhaps most impressive of all is the way the rubber-band powered motor visibly replicates the workings of a steam locomotive - pistons and valves that connect to drive wheels through moving rods and linkages and collectively propel the locomotive distances of up to 5 meters at a time. The set's 443 well-crafted components are supported by easy to follow, step-by-step instructions that make for an elaborate and deeply satisfying build. Assembly can be accomplished either in a single marathon session or unhurriedly enjoyed over the course of several sittings. No glue or tools required.
