Received this from my sister for Christmas. A highly polished etched metal kit! Comes complete with white gloves, smooth jaw needle nose pliers and a small diamond file for assembly!! And yes, it even comes with its own track and clockwork mechanism, to actually operate, when complete!! Gonna take a while!! Box cover Sample of parts Another sample of highly polished parts!
Wow! That's one cool-looking machine! It looks like some sort of futuristic retro-steampunk locomotive. Part Raymond Loewy and part Metropolis movie prop. It's going to be... interesting... to assemble. But once done, it's going to be one heck of a conversation starter. You have a great sister.
I do have a great sister!! Found 1 place that had it for around $56. Another spot had it for about $165. Amazon had it for $197. Don't know what was paid, but I'm betting it was plenty!! Definitely wasn't expecting something like this! Will definitely try to get photos of assembly. Maybe a video of it running, as it has a clockwork mechanism! Even includes it's own track for operation/display!
