Wooden Globus
Build Your Own World of Mechanical Marvels!
This stylish Globus model of our beautiful Earth is set with decorative continents, a rotating mechanism and curious little extras that make the model that more interesting!
The main part of the set consists of two blocks: the globe itself and its base. The base features elegantly carved gears and hides the sets main secret, the rubber band mechanism that allows the sphere to spin on its axis. Just like our other models, this mechanism needs winding up and to set it in action - simply pull the lever at the base clock wise and watch it go!
Interesting additional mechanic features of the Globus include the pendulum reduction one that slows down the spin and two extra parts: the Space Shuttle and the Sputnik. Connected to the main module via a planetary gear, these two satellites rotate around the Globus at different speeds. It adds more life to the model as well as makes watching it even more exciting, as both the Space Shuttle and the Sputnik rotate around the Earth so fast that they manage to make two rounds before the fully-wound-up rotation mechanism stops.
This new model is a wonderful surprise and an amazing gift to anybody who loves beautiful mechanics!
Made from high-quality eco-friendly plywood and pre-cut with a precise laser and without the need for additional tools and glue. Open the box and get on building!

Q. One piece broke as I was trying to remove it from the board. Is the whole thing garbage now???
A. Definitely not, just send us an email (info@kcogear.com) quoting your name and order number and we'll send out a replacement part ASAP.
Q. Should glue be used to assemble and if so, what kind?
A. No glue necessary but you could use wood glue if you want. It is basically like a balsa wood and all the pieces are laser-cut and snug fit.
Q. Can you paint the pieces before assembling?
A. Yes you can, but we suggest painting after you have assembled your kit as painting pieces before assembly will add a layer of material to the wood and might cause friction problems during operation.
Q. What is average build time for this?
A. Customers feedback suggest 5-8 hours depending on experience.
Q. Do the wheels rotate on the small models prime steam express mc501 model once assembly is complete?
A. The wheels on Prime Steam Express cannot move freely. These models are designed for display.
The Amy Jeep and Grand Prix car can run if you push them as they're on wheels
We also have a spring-driven locomotive that can run a few meters. https://shop.kcogear.com/products/locomotivelk701
Q. How many parts does it have?
A. The little train has 308 pieces and it take about 5 hours to assemble.
Q. Is this a more difficult model to build than the Vitascope?
A. According to our customers, it takes roughly the same time (around 5 hours)
Q. How much track does this come with?
A. The track is not included, although the carriage is included. We can definitely ask our designers to come up with tracks in the future.
Q. How can I order a replacement part?
A. Just send us an email to info@kcogear.com with your name and order number and we'll arrange a replacement part ASAP.
