Steam Locomotive with Tender
The UGEARS 460 Locomotive with Tender combines all of the technical and artistic innovations that builders have come to appreciate in our other models and takes them a step beyond. Richly detailed with an eye toward realism and romance, our version of this indelible symbol of 19th century technology and adventure captures the imagination of all who see it. It’s no wonder it was such a hit during our Kickstarter campaign.
Our 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 Tender with coal doors complete this beautiful reminder of a bygone era. The UGEARS 460 Locomotive with Tender is our largest, most complex model to date; yet thanks to our patented plywood joint design and rigorous engineering and quality control process, a hobbyist can complete this model in a single sitting. Like all other UGEARS models, the Locomotive with Tender comes with step-by-step, full-color, truly easy to follow instructions.

Warning! Small parts.

A challenging yet very fun build! Mine kind of stutters as it goes along the ground but I honestly think that's operator error and nothing about the design!
The model is quite high-quality, all units work smoothly and without any hitches. The only thing is that in the free-running mode the key moves jerkily, apparently the tension of the rubber affects it, pressing it to the front wall. There were two typos in the instructions, which did not affect the quality of the assembly. I find the decision to use toothpicks quite interesting and practical, but I still wished there were fewer of them. I was pleased with the model, as well as the assembly, which took me about 6 hours.
it was a gift for my brother who was delighted with it and looks forward yto assembling it.
Excellent kits go together very well ,strong and sturdy.
Good quality!
Really good construction exercise for my grandson.
One difficulty - it was difficult to put multiple pieces on the tooth picks - I had to drill out the holes to allow this to be done
Its pretty good
Todavía no lo he echo ,pero está muy guapo.cuando lo termine mandaré fotos un saludo gracias ugears, un cliente fiel a ustedes.
Really happy with Ugears train model, i think it would be more suitable for the more experienced modelled but it's very satisfying when it's completed.. I would recommend Ugears models to anyone who likes modellig.
