Polar Steel DIY Magic Express Train Kit Electrical Model
At the very late hour of the night before Christmas, when even the most naughty children fall asleep, and only the whistling of a blizzard is heard outside the window, a bright beam of a spotlight suddenly cuts through the snowy haze, and it appears in clouds of smoke and steam. Try not to fall asleep, and you will get into his car. This train will take you to the North Pole, where Santa Claus collects gifts. No high mountains, endless snow-covered fields, or an impenetrable forest will stop the train, and it will arrive on time.

An attentive viewer will exclaim that this is The Polar Express from Robert Zemeckis’s animation. And it is true. This cult film inspired the designers of Metal Time to create the Polar Steel model. Every aspect of railway technology is interesting: tracks, wagons, locomotives, and buildings. Some prefer electric locomotives, and others remain passionate about steam technology. Indeed, the locomotives from the fire-breathing dragons of the childhood of those over 50 have turned into relic samples, of which there are very few left in the real world.
- Therefore, incarnating steam locomotives as self-propelled models is a successful way to win over tinkerers’ hearts.
- Engineers, constructors, and “Metal Time” designers tried and created. A new self-assembly designer called “Polar Steel.”
- This is a model of a ten-axle steam locomotive with a closed tender. Thanks to colored stainless steel, the model has acquired unique color accents.
Tender, cab. Tanks and wheel faces were painted matte blue. The cauldron’s shell has become a dull, dark grey. Pipes, fittings, the boiler cover, and the lantern details are highlighted in matt yellow. As a result, the aesthetics of the steam locomotive have entirely changed, and it is no longer associated with black coal, fuel oil, and smoke—a fabulous express train.
- Sound and light effects also create a sense of wonder. Yes, the Polar Steel model has an LED lamp and a sound chip that reproduces the sounds characteristic of a moving steam engine and its horn.
- Add the rails and freewheeling wheels, and here is another locomotive for the Metal Time railway hub. The perfect gift for any tech lover!
- Like all Metal Time prefabricated construction sets, the Polar Steel model is made of sustainable stainless steel, is used in the food industry, and is approved for producing consumer goods and toys.
- Assembling “Polar Steel” is not easy. This complex model has 239 pieces, each of which must be properly placed in its designated location for the assembled model to function correctly. Nevertheless, this constructor promises a few days spent with like-minded people or the whole family, creating a Christmas miracle.
- But when all the difficulties are over, your collection will be replenished with a wonderful exhibit from the world of railway technology. It will decorate any interior, even on a table or shelf.
- If you make it part of a railway station or depot model, it will take its place among the most beautiful models there. Of course, you can recreate a scene from your favorite cartoon by adding figures of the Conductor and little passengers to the model.
For Metal Time, the Polar Steel model continues the railway fleet in 2022; it showcases new trends in construction kits, enriched with color parts, lighting, and sound effects devices.
- Precise cutting of the set eliminates the risk of cuts during assembly.
- Pleasant tactile sensations favorably distinguish steel parts from wooden or plastic parts used by other designers, especially matte surfaces, as in the Polar Steel model.
- Convenient flat packaging made of eco-friendly, recyclable cardboard combines the compactness and aesthetics of a status gift.
- The Polar Steel assembly model is intended for users aged 14 and older.
- The beloved railway theme and aesthetics make the finished model an excellent technical and cinematic attraction for children and adults.
The presence of the Polar Steel model in the house suggests that its owner is prone to changing places, loves complex equipment, and knows how to build complex devices. So be sure he will invite you on a journey on an exotic vintage train, or you will watch the trains sooner or later. He also has a separate room where he builds a railway model, so you will not get bored with him.
- In addition, the assembled model can serve as an interior decoration, part of a collection in a showcase, or an essential character in an installation on a railway theme or a layout of a railway structure. This is the perfect gift for boys of all ages.
- The study and assembly of the model develops technical creativity skills and encourages the study of the history of science, technology, and world culture.
- Each model is assigned a unique serial number, making them collectible and exchangeable. The club of owners of construction companies, “Metal Time,” is a growing community of passionate construction professionals.
