Setup and Assembly

The Grand Traveler 246 is a glue-free assembly model. All 410 wooden pieces are precisely laser-cut and designed to interlock. Assembly typically takes 8-10 hours. Follow the included illustrated step-by-step guide for best results. It is recommended to carefully detach each piece from its wooden frame as needed, rather than detaching all pieces at once, to avoid confusion and potential damage.

Assembly Tips:

• Identify all parts before starting.
• Use a small piece of sandpaper (not included) if any connections feel too tight.
• Follow the numerical order in the instructions for optimal assembly flow.

1. Locate the Side Lever: Find the side lever on the locomotive.
2. Lift the Lever: Lift the side lever to engage the winding mechanism.
3. Wind the Motor: Gently wind the front headlamp up to 15 turns. Do not overwind, as this can damage the rubber band motor.
4. Position the Train: Place the train on a flat, smooth surface or the provided railway track.
5. Release and Go: Release the side lever to set the train in motion. The train can travel up to 20 feet (6 meters) on a full wind.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your wooden train model, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they can damage the wood.
• Storage: Store the model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
• Handling: Always handle the model with care, especially when moving it, to avoid accidental breakage of delicate parts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during or after assembly, consider the following:

• Pieces not fitting: Refer to the illustrated assembly guide to ensure correct orientation and placement. Do not force pieces together, as this may cause damage. Gently sand edges if a piece is slightly tight.
• Movement issues: Check that the rubber band motor is correctly installed and wound. Ensure all gears and moving parts are free from obstruction and move smoothly. Verify that the train is placed on a flat surface or properly aligned on the track.
• Broken parts: In case a piece breaks during assembly, please contact Wood Trick customer support for assistance with replacement parts.
