As with a real steam locomotive, the entire engine and tender is coupled together in such a way that it moves simultaneously. Inside the model there are gears forming a complex mechanism ensuring realistic movement of the wheels and the entire drive. Just gently push the model to move the whole locomotive. Four different designs of wheels in the locomotive make the model sit perfectly on block tracks and are also able to negotiate turns.
It is worth noting that the model is also fully compatible with the block tracks of other brands of blocks. The set includes two interchangeable plates with the name of the locomotives to choose from: German BR 52 and Polish Ty2. The COBI company has also produced its own shape of a block recreating a section of the track.
The set includes five such sections with a total length of about 65 cm. The track is made with the modern technology of two-color injection, which means that each single section is made of two different colors of plastic that are connected to each other. The rails in the color of gray steel clearly stand out from the very realistic brown railway ties. There are no visible tenons (studs) on each tie, which improves their realism, and each of them is covered with a board texture, an imitation of wood grain. Tracks can be attached to block plates and have a physical hole, thanks to which you can permanently attach the track to any display you create. This set is the perfect gift for any history and railway enthusiast. Build history, piece by piece, with COBI!It was a very cheap, simple, yet a very reliable steam locomotive.
