## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a more difficult model to build than the Vitascope?**
A: I've made both. The train is much harder. All gears will need sanded,waxed and checked each step to ensure smooth function. If you question how difficult a model is, check the part count. More parts = harder. Rubber band, geared models are harder to make run smooth as apposed to hand crank models. This train runs great but you need to fiddle with the gears and rods a while after its built to find any parts that rub, gear alignments etc...

**Q: Can it be taken apart easily and without damaging the pieces if you want to build it again and again?**
A: These are not items that should be taken apart to build again. My teen boys have put together several from moderate to difficult. They take time and patience. On another note. If you get it together and something doesn't work, you can take it apart gently in order to fix the problem. Hope this helps.

**Q: What is the typical assembly time?**
A: Give it about 27 to 30 hours of comfortable building time

**Q: hi i recently purchased this train but the elastic bands that go in the gear box snapped can i use regular elastics.**
A: Some of them come split, because you need to tie them..... if they are all split I would dee what you can find that is the same weight as the ones sent... I do not know if normal bands are the same or not... best I can say is try it and see...or email/call the company ask for new ones...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spectacular design, manufacturing, and resulting model
*by J***. on December 27, 2018*

The media could not be loaded. I got the UGears train (with over 500 pieces) for my 16-year-old son this xmas. He was so enthralled by it that he spent almost two uninterrupted days putting it all together, and the results are visible in the attached video. It was very cool when started explaining how the transmission (that allows him to switch between Forward, Reverse, and Neutral) works. He commented: "If I didn't put it together, it wouldn't make sense." As a result, it not only occupied his time enhancing his fine motor skills, it also taught him a ton about gears, levers and much more.The craftsmanship resulting from laser-cut thin sheets of plywood was incredible. (There is a down-side to so many tiny parts... which I'll mention in a second). I was amazed for instance, when I saw that they crafted tiny (wooden!) roller-bearings, that were held in place by a circular (wooden!) race, when they knew the (rubber band) motor would have otherwise encountered a ton of friction as the lower plate tried to spin. It was also incredible that the whole train was assembled without any glue, using only wood, plus a set of rubber bands for the "motor" and "springs." (He broke one tiny part fairly ancillary part, that I glued back together before he installed it, but glue was not required.)On the downside, the parts were VERY small at times, which made it painful to push small things together, since it was friction that would keep them in place. For instance, toothpicks were routinely cut to 10 or 20 mm with a tiny jig-tool to get the sizes perfect (you do need to have a razor-knife to cut the supplied toothpicks). The "problem" came when pressing those toothpicks, or toothpick-fragments, into holes that were deliberately cut to be a VERY TIGHT friction fit with the toothpick. Worse yet, many times you needed to stand up a 10 mm fragment above a tiny hole, then THEN push it into place with notable force, which is really where "fine motor skills" were called for... until he discovered the following pro-tip.(Pro-tip that he discovered half way through assembly: The tiny "measuring jig" has two extra holes on it, that are "not documented." One hole is cut a tad larger than the toothpick diameter, for friction-free-holding of a fragment vertically, when you need to press it into a piece! The other hole is cut sufficiently smaller than the diameter of a toothpick so that it can be used to press on the "still pointy end" of the toothpick, without sliding! When you need to press a rather full-length toothpick through 6-7 stacked pieces with tremendous friction, this jig means that you don't have to grab the toothpick on its side and push. He also found it useful to have thimble (from our sewing kit) to press on these fragments. Lastly, I eventually lent him some small trigger clamps (see https://smile.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWHT83148-Small-Trigger-Clamp/dp/B0195UG2VG) which he used as a sort-of-hand-held-press, and they helped him as his fingers began to struggle. YMMV).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great project
*by G***9 on January 10, 2025*

This was a fun, challenging project. This is not for the first time builder. Getting all of the rubber bands where they belong takes some patience . Follow the directions , read the on line advice, and you will have a great experience with an heirloom model.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice model - Show piece.
*by H***2 on January 12, 2025*

This is a really well made model.I enjoyed putting it together and it is a nice addition to my collection.VERY integrate pieces, and took some time to assemble.Occasionally I take it off the shelf and let my grandson play with it.
