Review on UGEARS V Express Tender: Exquisite Mechanical Model for Railway Enthusiasts by Lynn Cole

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fun project, prepare for lots of finger pain

Overall I enjoyed collecting the whole train. I completed the build in four days. There were a few pieces that took a lot of pressure to get them together. I squeezed her so hard my fingers burned every day. But I love to pack, so I went ahead the next day anyway. The skin on my fingers (mainly my thumbs and index fingers) started peeling after a week. I also broke 3 pieces so I had to use shoe glue to hold them together. I was very angry with myself for breaking her. Make sure the sticks used to connect the wheels are not pointing outwards, otherwise they will add a lot of friction and the wheels will not move. What I did was cut the toothpick a little shorter than necessary so both ends could get into the wheels. But I probably won't pick it up another time, I can't take this pain again.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Exchange availability
