A Snapshot of Status

In the early 1900s, a photo taken in front of a train was a true mark of prestige. Travel itself was a luxury — and having your picture taken was, too. Passengers dressed in their finest. A portrait beside a steam engine proudly claimed a spot in the living room, silently bragging: “I can afford this.” And those locomotives? They felt more like five-star hotels on rails than mere transportation. We’ve made this DIY retro beauty to bring a touch of history to your own workshop. Build the Grand Traveler and relive that golden railway spirit!

What are the main features of the Grand Traveler 246?

This wooden DIY locomotive comes with 410 pieces of pure building fun and impressive attention to detail. Stylish, vintage-inspired wooden parts give it that classic retro vibe. The real magic is inside — a rubber band motor that can send your train up to 6 meters across a smooth surface. To set it in motion, lift the side lever and wind the front of the locomotive up to 15 turns. Then... full steam ahead!
Build your own journey back in time!
The Grand Traveler 246 is a customized wooden 3D constructor from WoodTrick, designed for a hands-on DIY experience and hours of fun with a realistic, moving train in a vintage style. With 410 precision-cut pieces and a MASTERS complexity level (4 out of 5), this DIY locomotive offers a rewarding challenge for experienced builders — yet approachable for newcomers thanks to our clear, step-by-step instructions. Expect to spend about 8-10 hours completing this project.

This DIY train puzzle includes the locomotive itself and a set of rails. Our engineers carefully recreated the signature details of a vintage steam engine — the smokestack, the front headlamp, the driving wheels and side rods, the classic boiler shape, and the engineer’s cab complete with little steps. The Grand Traveler runs on a rubber band motor that can power the model for up to 6 meters on a single wind-up. The start lever is located on the side near the cab, and to wind the motor, just twist the front of the locomotive — right where the headlamp sits.

 

Who will love the Grand Traveler 246? 

If you’re into hands-on building, vintage trains, mechanical challenges, or simply enjoy bringing a piece of history to life, this wooden locomotive is sure to impress and provide hours of fun.
