Gear Drives You Back.
Started by spring-driven engine, Locomotive LK701 is designed with gear drive mechanism and will whoosh its way out after wound up. Precise laser-cutting parts are fitted well. Take your time, gear by gear, you will see how a quaint vehicle come into being through your own hands.
- a spring-driven engine with precise gear drive
- a steam whistle that spins with motion
- old school outlook reminiscent of great industrial age
- best choice for new hands of modeling and mechanical lovers

Built unit and it would not work smoothly. Nice model but disappointed. After some time dismantled the unit to locate gear jamming problem. After some time I found that the problem was between the driven gears on the centre axle and their drivers. The issue seems to be that the driver gear is supported by E28 and E29 side stays. These stays are positively located at the front into F3 but at the rear they seem to be just slipped into F5 if this becomes a little loose then E29 slips down and the fears jam intermittently which is what makes it hard to find the problem. If this point was positively fixed I think you may have a lot more happy customers.

Looks like a nice kit but missing pieces. I recently bought this model and was excited to build it. However, I noticed it was missing vital pieces, and stopped. Is there any way that I can buy a piece individually? To be specific, this kit did not supply me with a “90mm P11 axel”.
