Metal Earth Steam Locomotive

Build a 3D metal model of a this train with Metal Earth Steam Locomotive. It is a set to make a precision engineered laser cut metal model of a steam locomotive. Transform 2 steel sheets to a museum quality 3D model.   Carefully clip out the pieces and connect using tabs and holes. No glue or solder needed! Tweezers (not included) make an ideal tool for bending or twisting the connection tabs. Contents: 2 metal sheets and illustrated instructions. Age 14 years – adult.

The Steam Locomotive is a train that produces its power from a steam engine. The train must carry its water either in the locomotive itself or in an attached car behind the locomotive. The steam is produced by burning coal, wood or oil. Steam engines dominated railway transportation from the early 19th century through the middle of the 20th century.

Difficulty Level – moderate

Model dimensions assembled – 11 x 2.3 x 3 cm
