Developing its new fascinating series, Mechanical Town, Ugears presents
another addition to the collection: the Rail Manipulator. Set up in the
dock of Mechanical Town not far from the Robot Factory, the Manipulator
is a purely utilitarian model, which by no means makes it less
entertaining than the other models in the range. Like the rest of the
Ugears models, the Manipulator is designed to make sure the fun goes on
after the assembly is completed. With a number of extras that come in
the box, the model guarantees hours of an exciting new pastime. Speaking
of extras, with the Manipulator itself, you also receive two sections
of rails, the shed under construction, two shipping crates with doors,
crane, freight carriage, and five characters.
The Manipulator is a mechanical claw with three levers that sits on a
platform on the rails. The rails can be connected in parallel or in one
line. The settings are completed with a pseudo-metal shed under
construction made of giant trusses which arrived straight out of the
Industrial age with one of the characters, a roofer with a hammer,
sitting on a beam of the shed. The Worker holding signal flags assists
the Manipulator operator to control the process, while the Worker with a
shovel and the Worker with a wrench are minding their own business in
the docks. The model also includes one of the docks’ most important
pieces of equipment, the Crane. It can be disassembled and put back
together almost by a wave of the hand. And an important addition to the
setting is the Freight carriage with drop sides. All the parts of the
set are made of a high-quality plywood and needs no extra materials or
tools to assemble.
