## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much track is included with the locomotive?**
A: Locomotive has one  tender.  Tender size:  6.3*3.5*4.5in

**Q: Is anyone else have issues getting it to move? When assembled, the gears seem to move fine but when I wind it up, it doesn't unwind.**
A: You need to make sure all gears and wheels spin freely. It takes quite a few adjustments and you may have to trim some of the toothpicks to get them to move. Take out the gear that connects to rubber drive and make sure train can move with inertia alone.  Also don't forget about lubricating the areas that touch.

**Q: Can you make homemade track for it?**
A: I suppose you could. Or, check out the railway crossing model which has extra track. If you need more, you can use them as a guide for making your own. Search Amazon for:  UGEARS Model "Rails" 3D wooden puzzle

**Q: What are the parts for the model made out of?**
A: All parts are made out of plywood.

    I always say with ugears they must change their axles from wooden items too steel ones ,

Axles in wood

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Requires a LOT of adjustment and extra greasing, fun to build but not worth the money.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 March 2017*

The model itself is good quality, laser cut, very intricate and detailed. It was bought for my husband's 30th birthday. He's very mechanically minded and enjoys modelling of all kinds, so he is experienced with wooden models. However, the gears and axles require substantial adjustment to make the product work due to the amount of friction it is under. The suggested waxing of the cocktail stick moving parts with a tea light to grease them is not enough. The product could do with being supplied with a small container of proper grease or to suggest a mechanics grease to over come this issue. Model had to be deconstructed several times to fine tune the gear system, because even if you test the parts before final assembly and they work, final assembly stiffens things up and readjustment is again needed. The gears needed removing one by one under a process of trial and error to see which caused the problem, the cocktail sticks needed much adjusting and several extra greasings to get it right. Getting the thing to work took longer than it did to build it. The cocktail sticks snap easily and are under a lot of strain.Although the model is supposed to made out of all wood, the small axles could really have been done with being made out of metal because wooden cocktail sticks just don't do the job. This would be a necessary compromise.Another pitfall is that the train can travel 5meters under it's own momentum but only 30cm of track is supplied. It is a straight piece, so is barely enough. If you wish to purchase the extra track it will set you back another £30 for 4 meters, the railway platform is another almost £60.

    Take yor time.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 February 2018*

The user guide of how to put it together lacks some extra details.  You have to cut cocktail sticks (provided) but you dont know how long they need to be.  The wheels have to be very specifically put on for the external pistons to go on.  The pieces are not very easy to push out and the laminate often comes apart.  We have only got to page 11 and our fingers were aching from pushing it together.  Dont think ours will move even with the candle wax (not supplied) rubbed on the moving parts.
