Charlie + Wobbs

Tram (also known as tramcar or streetcar) is one of the oldest types of urban transportation. A famous San Francisco cable car was put on rails in 1873 and still works to this day! The UGears tram is inspired by the first street-cars and funiculars and is probably the most romantic model in the UGears collection.

The UGears Tram on Rails kit is made of sustainably sourced high-grade wood and has everything you might need for assembly. The pieces are laser cut out of plywood boards and have to be popped out and assembled to create the model.

The model is propelled by a rubber band engine (tram mode) or can be pulled by gravity (funicular mode) when one end of the rails are tilted up with a special lever. Levers on both ends of the rail can be used to elevate the model above the ground, creating a bridge.

+

The Tram’s pantograph functions as a lever which pushes out the wind-up wheel of the rubber band engine. There’s also a start lever, direction shifter, a brake lever, and even an emergency exit on the roof. And as usual, as in most UGears models, there’s a storage space for something special for a person on the other end of the route!

+

Like all other UGears kits, the Tram on Rails comes with step-by-step, full-color, truly easy to follow instructions in 11 languages (English, German, Ukrainian, French, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Chinese and Korean) and requires neither glue nor special tools to be fully assembled into a functional mode of transportation.

154 pieces. Tram size: 6.2 x 2.9 x 5.4 inches. Rail size: 30.2 x 2.1 x 2.8 inches. Assembly time: ~5 hours. Recommended age: 14+

Giving Back

At Charlie + Wobbs, trees are kinda our thing. Not only do trees provide the beautiful pieces of wood that goes into all of our products, but they also help provide the cardboard our boxes are made from, the paper packing material to keep everything safe during shipment, the cardstock our flyers are printed on, the paper towels used during production, and most importantly, the air we breathe just to be alive. We'd kinda be up a creek without a paddle, wooden or otherwise, without them. When properly managed, trees are an amazing and 100% renewable resource... really the ultimate renewable resource; products derived from them literally grow on trees! And to help preserve them Charlie + Wobbs pledges to donate one percent of the revenue of every order to non-profit organizations whose missions are sustainable forestry and mitigating the effects of climate change. This way we can help keep the forests of the world growing forward.
