2.5D Steam Express puzzle

Relive the romantic train journeys of yesteryear with the 2.5D Steam Express picture puzzle from the new Ugears collection. This 2.5D wooden picture model to assemble shows a classic steam locomotive and a passenger carriage with mechanical elements from three perspectives. With its elegance, the steam express inspired by the luxury passenger trains of the early 20th century is a wonderful static decorative element that comes to life through its moving parts.

One of the three perspectives of the steam express train is the side view of the locomotive with driving wheels, connecting rods and driving rods, which are all synchronised thanks to the mechanical wooden gearbox. There is also a front view of the locomotive with rail scraper and suspended smoke chamber door, which can be opened to reveal the lattice-shaped air intake. The third perspective is the side view of the passenger carriage with a secret mechanism that can be used to open the carriage to reveal a beautifully furnished dining car with table, bar and lounge.

The 2.5D puzzles from Ugears are a fun DIY alternative to traditional jigsaw puzzles or laying games. Unlike anything Ugears has made before, these wooden mechanical picture puzzles serve as static decoration, but with a little something extra: moving parts that bring the picture to life. Each picture puzzle is built in its own frame, with a picture suspension or support feet to stand on. These DIY models provide entertainment and are the perfect addition to your home or office decor.

Like all Ugears models, the 2.5D Steam Express picture model is made of high-quality plywood. You can leave it in its attractive natural state or paint, varnish or stain it in the colours of your choice (paints are not supplied). You will find everything you need to assemble it in the box, including wax, sandpaper and instructions in 11 languages (Ukrainian, English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean). You don’t need any glue or special tools – simply assemble the laser-cut pieces!

The 2.5D Dampf-Express puzzle has 79 pieces and can be assembled in less than an hour on the “Easy” difficulty level. Even if you’ve never built a model before, there’s no need to worry – 2.5D picture puzzles are great starter models for anyone with no previous modelling experience. Anyone can create something beautiful to take home and then proudly show off the model’s cool features and moving parts to friends and family.
