Train Polar Steel Metal Time Kit

The train is waiting for you. "Polar Steel" is travelling to the North Pole. Climb aboard the train and race north over mountains and through boreal forests inhabited by timber wolves and rabbits, but this train never slows down.
Build the "Polar Steel" train with your own hands!

History of the train

In the very late hour of the night before Christmas, when even the naughtiest children are falling asleep and all that can be heard outside the window is the whistling of a blizzard, suddenly a bright beam of a headlight cuts through the haze of snow and appears in clouds of smoke and steam. Try not to fall asleep and you will definitely get into his car. This train will take you to the North Pole, where Father Christmas himself is collecting presents. Neither high mountains nor endless snow-covered fields nor an impenetrable forest will stop the train and it will definitely arrive on time.

Yes, that's the Polar Express from Robert Zemeckis' animation - an attentive viewer will exclaim. And it is true. It was this cult film that inspired the designers at Metal Time to create the Polar Steel model.

The railway is a huge fascinating world for romantics who dream of travelling, fans of the history of the development of technology and design lovers, because every step in the development of the railway is associated with millions of original technical solutions. That is why the railway model is the eternal dream of an overwhelming number of children and young people.

All aspects of railway technology are of interest: Tracks, wagons, locomotives and buildings. Someone likes electric locomotives, and someone is still passionate about steam technology. And indeed, the locomotives of the fire-breathing dragons from the childhood of the over-50s have become relics, of which there are only a few left in the real world.

Therefore, the embodiment of steam locomotives in the form of self-propelled models is a successful way to capture the hearts of tinkerers.

Engineers, constructors and designers from "Metal Time" tried and created a new designer for self-building called "Polar Steel".

Model of a ten-axle steam locomotive with closed tender. The use of coloured stainless steel gives the model unique colour accents.

Tender, cabin. Tanks and wheel surfaces were given a matt blue colour. The shell of the boiler has become matt dark grey. Pipes and fittings, the boiler cover and the details of the lantern are highlighted in matt yellow. This has completely changed the aesthetics of the steam locomotive and it is no longer associated with coal, fuel oil and smoke - a truly fabulous express train.

A sense of wonder is also created by sound and light effects. Yes, the Polar Steel model is not only equipped with an LED light, but also with a sound chip capable of producing sounds characteristic of a moving steam engine and its horn.

Add to this the rails and freewheels and here is another locomotive for the Metal Time railway hub. The perfect gift for any engineering enthusiast!

Features, advantages

Like all of Metal Time's prefabricated building sets, the Polar Steel model is made from sustainable stainless steel, which is used in the food industry and approved for use in the production of consumer goods and toys.

Mastering the assembly of "Polar Steel" is not easy. This is a complex model with 239 parts, each of which must be placed correctly in a unique location for the assembled model to function properly. This constructor promises a few days together with like-minded people or the whole family to create a Christmas miracle.

But when all the difficulties have been overcome, your collection will be complemented by a wonderful exhibit from the world of railway engineering. It will decorate any interior, even if it just sits on a table or shelf.

And if you make it part of a model of a station or depot, it will take its rightful place there among the most beautiful models. And of course you can recreate a scene from your favourite cartoon by adding figures of the conductor and little passengers to the model.

For Metal Time, the Polar Steel model is the continuation of the railway model fleet in 2022, showing new trends in construction kits enriched with coloured parts and devices for light and sound effects.

Precise cutting of the set eliminates the possibility of cuts during the assembly process.

Pleasant tactile sensations positively distinguish steel parts from wooden or plastic parts used in other designers. Especially with matt surfaces, as with the Polar Steel model.

The practical flat packaging made of environmentally friendly recycled cardboard combines compactness and the aesthetics of a status gift.

The "Polar Steel" assembly model is aimed at a wide range of users from the age of 14.

The popular 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 shows you that its owner tends to change places, loves complex devices and knows how to make complex devices himself. Be sure, sooner or later he will invite you for a ride on an exotic vintage train or just watch the trains. And he has a separate room where he builds a model of the railway, which means you won't be bored with him.

In addition, the assembled model can serve as an interior decoration, part of a collection in a showcase, a key figure in a railway-themed installation or the layout of a railway structure. This is the perfect gift for boys of all ages.

Studying and assembling the model develops engineering creativity skills and encourages the study of the history of science, technology and world culture.

Each of our models is given a unique serial number, making them collectible and interchangeable. The "Metal Time" builders club is a growing community of building enthusiasts.
