The GWR5700 Steam Locomotive — 2,108 Piece Train Building Set
Power Blockz built The GWR5700 Steam Locomotive as a steam locomotive meant for display, and the brick work reflects that. It runs to 2,108 pieces and takes around 10-18 hours to complete.
What You're Building
The model reproduces a British GWR 5700-class pannier tank locomotive, built up from a boiler and cab section with side-mounted water tanks fitted in place of a separate tender. Wheel sets, boiler bands, and cab detailing are built out in sequence to match the class's compact tank-engine profile.
Inside the Box
2,108 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. If a piece is missing or damaged, our spare-parts guarantee covers the replacement.
The Build
Rated advanced, this is a demanding build suited to experienced builders who plan their sub-assemblies. Expect roughly 10-18 hours for a first pass at a steady pace. Working through the steam locomotive in stages keeps the bench manageable.
Display & Specifications
Finished, the locomotive stands on its own wheel sets without a tender, making it a compact centerpiece for a rail-themed shelf.
Pieces: 2,108

Key Features

- Rolling Wheel Sets — Wheel sets and connecting rods are built to turn, so the finished model can roll along a shelf or display track.
