$599.99

In stock at stirlingkit.com

This miniature locomotive kit is a 387-part metal model of an early steam train that you assemble yourself and run on the included track. Despite the 'live steam' title, the listing describes a 500 mAh lithium battery that charges in about 2 hours and runs 30 minutes or more. It suits patient builders aged 10 and up who like mechanical kits.
