Piping, manifolds, and mechanical fixtures are built out in sequence to reproduce the layout of a classic WWII-era V8 tank engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1,385 ABS bricks with consistent clutch power, sorted into numbered bags. A printed manual guides the build step by step. Every brick is compatible with the major building systems, so parts from an existing collection drop straight in.
