Ugears Tugboat

Sitting quietly on the dock while tugboats down on past is a favorite pastime for many people. There's something unique about enjoying those little, identified vessels cut through a calm harbor, with or without another boat in tow. The only thing missing from that peaceful experience is having the ability to see how the tugboat works from the within. The UGears tugboat model set offers you a hands-on opportunity to take pleasure in some of that maritime spirit in your home. We bring you a reproduction of sea transportation with exposed inner mechanisms to indulge your fascination with all things mechanical.

The unique open interior of this model offers you a clear view of the inner functions of the system.

This wooden tugboat model set includes a rubber-band motor that moves energy to an unbalanced wheel set and a drive wheel. The unbalanced style of the wheel set reproduces the side-to-side rocking movement of a genuine tugboat out on the water. A pendulum smooths and slows that movement while simulating the sound of a diesel motor, offering you an experience that is as near to the genuine thing as a small 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 movement of the tugboat and make it simple to replace or fix important components.

The striking look of this boat is definitely appealing, but the complex and sensible style of the tugboat is not simply for looks. This is a tugboat model set that actually tugs. Use the hooks, ropes, and thread to tow little, light-weight items, such as paper boats or smaller wheeled designs. The rubber-band system offers it adequate power to move from 1.5 to 3 meters, depending upon the kind of surface. It is important to explain that, while this model does its finest to replicate the genuine thing, it is better matched to dry land than the ocean blue. Fortunately, its unique and resilient style will let you enjoy it on shelves and floorings as often as you like.
