Ugears Tugboat

Sitting quietly on the dock while tugboats down on past is a favorite pastime for a lot of people. There's something unique about watching those little, figured out vessels cut through a calm harbor, with or without another boat in tow. The only thing missing from that tranquil experience is having the ability to see how the tugboat works from the inside. The UGears tugboat model package provides you a hands-on chance to delight in a few of that maritime spirit in the house. We bring you a reproduction of sea transportation with exposed inner mechanisms to indulge your fascination with all things mechanical.

The special open interior of this model provides you a clear view of the inner functions of the system.

This wood tugboat model package features a rubber-band motor that transfers energy to an asymmetrical wheel set and a drive wheel. The asymmetrical style of the wheel set duplicates the side-to-side rocking motion of a genuine tugboat out on the water. A pendulum smooths and slows that motion while imitating the sound of a diesel motor, offering you an experience that is as near the real thing as a little model can be. A start lever engages the motor and a stop lever shuts it down. The open style and moveable parts allow you to manage the motion of the tugboat and make it simple to change or fix important components.

The striking appearance of this boat is definitely attractive, but the complex and realistic style of the tugboat is not just for aesthetic appeals. This is a tugboat model package that actually tugs. Use the hooks, ropes, and thread to tow little, lightweight things, such as paper boats or smaller wheeled models. The rubber-band mechanism provides it sufficient power to move from 1.5 to 3 meters, depending upon the kind of surface. It is important to point out that, while this model does its best to reproduce the real thing, it is better matched to dry land than the open sea. Luckily, its special and long lasting style will let you enjoy it on shelves and floors as often as you like.
