ROKR Locomotive Story

History of Locomotive

It is said that the name of the first train in the world was Thomas. But, my friend, it’s conditional. Thomas can only be regarded as the earliest train in animation. The actual train was built by British inventor George Stevenson, who was known as the “father of the train” in history. He made a steam locomotive in 1814, named the Blucher, which was a big guy.The Blucher can pull eight carriages, with a load capacity of 30 tons and an average speed of 4 miles per hour, which is about 1.78 meters per second. Stevenson’s success lies in his development of tracks with appropriate hardness and the transformation of new valves and wheel connecting rods, which have become the primary mechanism of steam locomotives for decades.
What brought him a lot of fame and wealth was that he vigorously promoted the civilian use of trains and achieved the title of “father of trains.”

Applying the steam engine in the transportation industry has brought humanity into the “train era.”But in our concept, the train is often a symbol of the industrial revolution and the rapid rise of capitalism.
In Steampunk’s works, the roar of the train and the rising water mist show the power of machinery naked.
It has a complex gear bite structure, precise bearing, lever principle, and the perfect combination of power and machinery. We missed the charm of force and machinery 200 years ago. Two hundred years later, we can’t miss it again.

ROKR Locomotive Mechanical Gears Wooden Model Kit to Build

Don’t just be a trainspotter; become a train owner! This form of transport has been with us for hundreds of years, but as any fan will tell you, the appeal of trains is far greater than mere transport. The clickety-clack track. The countless journeys of thousands of people. The wind rushes past you as the express service screams through your station and waves you goodbye.

DIY TIPS

It looks fantastic in a raw finish, but one of the nice things about a kit is you can make it your own, so feel free to personalize as you wish. The Locomotive is made from plywood so that you can apply just about anything, including paint or lacquer.

It’s better to paint before assembly, as getting a brush into every little section would be fiddly once it’s finished. The moving gears must be carefully aligned, and excess paint may prevent these parts from moving. If necessary, lightly sand your paint on parts that need adjusting.
