Schleppschiff

Item no .: 70078 Number of components: 169 Setup time: 2-3 hours Model size: 28.5 x 12 x 18.5 cm UGEARS MODEL "TUG" Models of ships have always had a strong appeal for both large and small. It is therefore not surprising that the Ugears tug is one of the most popular items in the range of the manufacturer of high-quality mechanical models made of wood. The boat consists of 169 parts. You will need about 2 - 3 hours to assemble it. At first glance you will recognize that the boat is a replica of a typical tug, as it is used in every major port. The deck superstructures are reproduced in detail. The specialty of the model, however, is the drive. This is done by a rubber band motor. It transfers its energy to a drive wheel. With the rubber band motor fully tensioned, the model can cover 1.5 - 3 m depending on the surface. An asymmetrical pair of wheels rotates and thereby creates rocking movements of the harbor tug, which imitate the rocking of a ship in waves. At the same time, a work pendulum generates a sound that is very similar to that of a ship's diesel. That makes the Ugears model almost perfect.
