From the Manufacturer

Academy's Steam Locomotive "Penydarren" is a Snap-Together, Educational Kit that requires no glue, no tools, and no painting to complete. Very easy to assemble, you will have an historically accurate, actual working reproduction of the Penydarren, the first steam locomotive.

This terrific kit enables the modeler to study the actual gear movements that make a locomotive work. Powered by an included, spring powered mechanism, the completed kit pulling its coal tender actually runs across your desktop, or display it on the included stand. Academy's technical engineers captured the wonders of this mechanical masterpiece, making the model a joy to build, display or operate. Historical, educational and operational, Academy's Steam Locomotive "penydarren" will make a terrific introductory model for the budding modeler or student looking for a "show-and-tell" school project or a beautiful shelf model.
