Ugears express train

[Deleted member 3568]

Hi all bought this with my Christmas money.



Its a really complex kit (far more complex than I thought)

This looks really cool Ken. Interesting mechanism!

Hi Ken
Just had a look at this on Ugears website. Looks amazing with loads of working features. I assume it is laser cut. I'll enjoy seeing how you get on with this.

Interesting one Ken, neat that you have rubber bands to let work

Been looking at that model, have done a few ugears model kits and I enjoy them but at times it can get a bit complicated, another company is Wood Trick, not sure if the two companies are connected as there both in the Ukraine. Will watch your progress and don't forget to wax the cogs, I found sanding the cogs made a difference to the workings, guess it makes it a bit worn so smoother running.

Hi all bit more done not ready to add the gears yet but I wanted to figure out how it all worked

More work on the express train.

 

[adt70hk]

Wow!

 

[Deleted member 3568]

More done to this.

 

[Dave Ward]

That certainly is different! Who knew that steam trains had all those gears & cogs inside?

Looks great, you really nailed this model, did all your cogs work fine? On one I built had to dismantle it abit to line everything up again, the advantage of no glueing involved I guess. Well done.

With lessons learned on the fire engine I decided to revisit this.
