A tail from the V- Express Steam Train. ( still can't find traction tires for it. ) ( 1:32 scale )
Judy bought this for me 2 years ago from Amazon .
After 538 pieces of laser cut tiny plywood ( no glue needed ) it was finished. It was operational in forward and reverse as well as operating clam shell firebox doors , cab roof vents , cab doors , engineer step down and fold up ladder, opening tender coal door and levered opening sides of tender. My kit was made on 1 / 30 / 2019 . ( she also bought me a Hurdy Gurdy kit that you can also play.........she didn't recognize " ODE TO JOY " when I played it. )
Made by U Gears ( Ukrainian Gears LLC )in Kyiv Region ,Ukraine . You tube has videos of operation and on the construction. The company has many different kits. ( not for the all thumbs crowd )
Pretty sharp Dallas WTG!
