Fathers day brought me a little prezzie,



No paint or glue required, looking forward to cracking on with this!

Nice. Hope it’s more successful than the timer I tried to build. Never worked and went in the bin....

[Southend Nick]

Those U Gear kits are brilliant, got the tramcar worked great...

Until the cat thought it was a toy and lobed it off the shelf it was on!

Have a few spare cocktail sticks to hand, as you might need them if you break the ones that come in the kit.

I do have the loco kit somewhere around. I might try to find it if your car works well

[casper]

Cool kit, nice to see something new as W2 said. Never tried one of these kits

Thankyou for the interest, made a start on the "engine" last night, the pistons were the hardest part, needed quite a bit of pushing and shoving to get them on their con-rods

Moved to traditional car kits.
Making a nice start. I recall that a lot of parts on the timer needed a good thump to get them to seat fully.

Wow that's impressive. Bit of gentle persuasion with a hammer?

Just a bit of "banter" but what is a "timer"

A device for measuring time. E.g. Egg timer.

[wingnut2]

Small update, the power train, ie elastic bands these were surprisingly difficult to get right, broke one of the bands fixing place, luckily spares are included.







Power train fitted and various cogs added.

[number1]

Engine fitted to the chassis along with a couple more cogs.

Hi Les coming along nicely, It seems to be getting more complicated the further you go with the kit It makes a very interesting build diary.
Keep up the good work with this fascinating kit.

Hi! Seems quite challenging but going great so far. Looking forward for the updates

[number1]

10 months after my last update and sitting on the shelf of doom, its finally finished,











Unfortunately it doesn't work, to much friction somewhere, might try and dismantle it someday and get it working
