Prototype history
At the very late hour of the night before Christmas, when even the most naughty children fall asleep, and only the whistling of a blizzard is heard outside the window, a bright beam of a spotlight suddenly cuts through the snowy haze and it 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 Santa Claus himself collects gifts. Neither high mountains, nor endless snow-covered fields, nor an impenetrable forest will stop the train, and it will definitely arrive on time.
Yes, this is the Polar Express from the animation of Robert Zemeckis - an attentive viewer will exclaim. And it is true. It was this cult film that inspired the designers of Metal Time, creating the Polar Steel model.
The railway is a huge fascinating world for romantics who dream of traveling, fans of the history of the development of technology and design lovers, because every step in the development of railways is associated with millions of original technical solutions. Therefore, the model of the railway is the eternal dream of the overwhelming number of children and adolescents.
Every aspect of railway technology is of interest: tracks, wagons, locomotives and buildings. Someone likes electric locomotives, and someone is still passionate about steam technology. And indeed, the locomotives from the fire-breathing dragons of the childhood of those over 50 have turned into relic samples, of which there are very few left in the real world.
Therefore, the embodiment of steam locomotives in the form of self-propelled models is a successful way to win the hearts of tinkerers.
Engineers, constructors and designers of "Metal Time" tried and created a new designer for self-assembly called "Polar Steel".
This is a model of a ten-axle steam locomotive with a closed tender. Thanks to the use of colored stainless steel, the model has acquired unique color accents.
Tender, cab. Tanks and wheel faces received a matte blue color. The shell of the cauldron has become a dull dark grey. Pipes and fittings, the boiler cover, as well as the details of the lantern are highlighted in matt yellow. As a result, the aesthetics of the steam locomotive has completely changed, and it is no longer associated with black coal, fuel oil and smoke - a real fabulous express train.
A sense of wonder is also created by sound and light effects. Yes, the Polar Steel model is equipped with an LED lamp.
Add to that the rails and freewheeling wheels and here is another locomotive for the Metal Time railway hub. The perfect gift for any tech lover!
