Advantages
Wood-and-plastic hybrid puzzle. The new technology allows unprecedented reliability and durability achieving. The plastic as a component provides huge possibilities for functionality and specification. The model is easier to assemble and it looks even more futuristic. Try the process-oriented puzzle and see for yourself. Every puzzle is unique in some way. This section will introduce some details regarding train model functional peculiarities.
3-piston motor
The main loco part is the three-piston IC motor. The three pistons move up and down asynchronously and it is fascinating, you will want to start it again and again. We know that large IC-motor loco does not exist. However, in the world where this train came from, humanity took a different path of development. You have seen the portal on the box, right?)
Front piston block
Especially we are proud of how the "front piston group" is arranged. This is the system of levers and shafts, which transfer the motion from the spring to the wheels. As the loco moving, you literally can see how this system makes the wheels turning by means of a simple spring. Owing to this part, we have managed to show the aesthetics and principles of real loco moving. While assembling this constructor, you will be feeling like a real 18th century engineer!
Tender
The loco is supplied along with a tender (car). It is designed in the same way as the loco itself and has several units. By easily pushing the lever (which is arranged on the tender side), the car flaps open aside and you can use it as a storage unit for your favorite jewels. There are also doors that provide access to the inside of the car from the driver's cabin. Another interesting feature of the tender is the automatic clutch system. In order to combine them, you just need to press them together.
