UGears Steam Express 2.5D Mechanical Puzzle

Product Description
$ 19.99

 Bring back the romance of train travel in a bygone age with the Steam Express 2.5D picture puzzle from the new Ugears collection. This DIY 2.5D wooden picture model shows a classic steam locomotive and passenger carriage from three perspectives, each with mechanical elements. Inspired by the luxury passenger trains of the early 20th century, with its elegance the Steam Express is a beautiful static display piece that comes to life with its moving parts.

The Steam Express' three perspectives include a side view of the locomotive, with driving wheels and connecting and coupling rods all synched thanks to mechanical wooden gearing. There's also a front view of the locomotive, with a cattle guard and hinged smokebox hatch that opens to reveal a latticed air intake. The third perspective is a side view of a passenger car, with a secret mechanism that lets you slide open the carriage to reveal a beautifully appointed dining car with a table, bar, and lounge.

Ugears 2.5D picture puzzles are a fun DIY alternative to traditional jigsaw puzzles. Different from anything Ugears has manufactured before, these wooden mechanical picture puzzles are meant for static display, but with a twist: movable parts that bring the picture to life. Each picture puzzle is built in its own frame, with a picture mount for hanging or leg stands for tabletop display. These DIY craft models are a conversation starter and the perfect addition to your home or office interior.

Like all Ugears models the Steam Express 2.5D picture model is made of art-quality composite wood; you can leave the model in its attractive natural state, or color, paint, or stain it in a color scheme of your choosing (paints not included). Everything you need for assembly comes in the box, including wax, sandpaper, and instructions in 11 languages (Ukrainian, English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Chinese, and Korean). No glue or special tools are required—just snap the laser pre-cut pieces together!
