Piececool Class S-2 Steam Locomotive 3D Metal Model Kit is the longest metal model in this group and the one with the most mechanical detail: wheels, rods and boiler fittings rather than architecture.

Why it is listed here

The catalogue’s metal range was almost all ships and creatures, with a single vehicle. A steam locomotive is the classic metal-model subject for good reason – the linkages and wheel sets are exactly the kind of fine repeated detail etched metal does well.

Using it on a kit

Build the wheel sets carefully and check they are square before fitting the boiler over them; a misaligned axle is almost impossible to correct once the body is on. At about 22 cm long, plan the shelf space.
