V-Express Steam Train with Tender

Totally disappointed!!. Thought it would be a good hobby for my husband. Wrong!!! The pieces are very fragile, as you say. So far he's had to glue 3 pieces. Now on page 17 the hanger board states 92, as the instructions state. The pieces show--2 have # 82--2 have #82 & #86--2 have #83 & #86. Nowhere in the instruction book does it show these pieces. He's frustrated with this as am I. Did I get a wrong hanger board with the wrong pieces. Let me know what to do. He's getting ready to throw the whole thing away.

The gentleman I bought this for is so delighted and has been working on it since I gave it to him. It is a beautiful piece and will bring great joy to the residents in the skilled nursing facility he and his wife are in.

I've made a number of UGears models and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The V Express Train arrived in good order, was very well packaged and I was anxious to start. However I found the 16 elastic band part to very challenging! After 3 attempts I had the 14 of the elastics sort of in place but in putting the next band in place broke " part 3" As well I found a few of the illustrations hard to decipher. Have requested a replacement part.
