How to build?

A short sequence to guide the build.

  1. 01

    Start with a long base and place the wheels at even intervals.

  2. 02

    Build the cabin at one end, leaving the other end as the front of the locomotive.

  3. 03

    Add a chimney or vertical accent so the direction of travel is easy to read.

  4. 04

    Test the rolling movement and adjust parts that touch the surface.
