Description
The V-Express Steam Train with Tender is an express steam locomotive with an open, retro-futuristic design – rubber band motor, forward, reverse and idle.
The open body lets you watch the gears, flywheel and cylinder-piston arrangement at work – a near-exact miniature of one of the main mechanical assemblies of a real locomotive. One full winding takes the train up to 4 meters along its track. A small lever on the side sets the direction; in idle you can watch the mechanism run without the train taking off. Switch to reverse and the locomotive rolls back and couples to its tender automatically.
A project for several evenings – 538 parts, about 12 hours. The finished train measures 56 × 12 × 12 cm.
Key features:
- Cylinders and pistons with moving elements
- Gears and flywheel in an open frame
- Firebox with doors that open and close
- Automatic coupling between locomotive and tender
- Tender with a locking hatch and raisable sides
Includes 2.45 meters of wooden track. Assembles without glue or special tools, instructions in 11 languages.

Craftsmanship
Built to be shown
From 538 parts to an art object for your shelf – built with your own hands.
Laser-cut edges, open mechanics, visible wood grain: every part is laser-cut from plywood so precisely that it fits without glue. Gears, levers and shafts stay visible – the mechanism is part of the design.
Designed by UGEARS, a Ukrainian brand, produced in the EU. We have been bringing the models to Germany as the exclusive importer since 2015 and ship from Germany. If a part breaks while building, spare parts are free.
