Tram on Rails mechanical model kit

Et après la Fleur-étui mécanique, je me suis attaqué au Tram.
On passe le niveau au-dessus, surtout au niveau du système d'entrainement, et je ne cache pas que j'ai du m'y reprendre à 3 fois pour que le système avec l'élastique fonctionne correctement, mais comme l'on soulevé d'autres utilisateurs, je crains que les cure-dents ne faiblissent assez rapidement, certains ont déjà un cintrage certain, et le modèle n'est monté que depuis hier.
Si jamais un ou plusieurs venaient à céder, il m'en reste de ce kit et de celui de la Fleur-étui, donc j'ai un peu de temps devant moi avant de ne plus pouvoir faire se déplacer le Tram.
Il faut aussi garder à l'esprit que c'est avant tout un objet de décoration que l'on peut faire évoluer de temps en temps mais ce n'est pas un modèle de train miniature comme on le conçoit habituellement.
En tout cas, personnellement, je suis ravi de cette nouvelle acquisition, et envisage de compléter ma collection avec d'autres modèles de chez vous.
Merci

I really need to know what size rubber band it needs. thanks

The model looks really cool on the box, but the toothpick axles are impossible to push into place. When 1 broke in the axle hole, I couldn't pull it out either.

I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the design quality of this model. I've built lots of U Gear models in the past and love them but the winding mechanism of this model is poor design and should of used solid dowel to prevent the electric band falling off all the time. Also thicker cocktail sticks need to be used for the spindles. This will make a good static model.
I am going to try the cabriolet next.

I think this model is great. You should pay attention to the instructions carefully. I am also finding it very difficult to push the toothpicks in the correct position. I am on step 8 and cannot find a way to insert the toothpick to make it symmetric. I am affraid to break some part if I push to hard. Do you have any suggestions ? thank you in advance for your help.

I am impressed with the Tram. However, I cannot get the rubber band to power it. Winding the band causes it to jump off the disks and jam on the toothpick. How do I correct it?

Tooth picks are too weak and break too easily during assembly I need more toothpicks to complete the model which otherwise is good the tooth pick really need to be metal

This model is awesome in general, I like how it looks like! But it has a few issues.

1. Model is hard to assemble. I mean it's so heavy to push toothpicks in place.

2. I got this model in January 2017, and after 1 year owning its axis become a bent and rubber is stretched out.

another one "nice to have"includes sandpaper and wax to the box.

I love this model. It's difficult to assemble, but it looks cool.

I loved this prodcut, this is one of my favorite models.
Unique design, works well, large size.

As all the models from ugears, you need to be a bit delicate with them. But I think I already have 7 of their models and I keep on getting new ones when they come out. If you like building things - this is the best kind of gift you will ever get.

I just finished this model and I am so happy with it! The sound of it moving along the track is pleasing and I am grateful for Denys' instructional video on YouTube. I have now successfully completed the Tram, Etui box, and Theater and they are work wonderfully. The toothpicks can be difficult, but I bought a box at the dollar store and they work great. I will admit that I have had to use a little glue on broken parts, but nothing major. It would be nice to see a Carousel! Thank you so much for these charming and well-designed models!

I love the model, but I just get annoyed by putting the sticks through the small holes, and I even broke a small part, wich didn't have a spare version. so I'm currently stuck on page 10, step 3, but Im thinking about something to fix the problem.
but I think when finished, It would be an amazing model, cause I've also build the pneumatic engine, and it works great.
