mouseketeer Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) This is a model I've been planning on building for a while now, ever since my girlfriend very kindly bought me my first Harry Potter sets. While I thought the castles were terrific, I thought the train was a bit lacking, so this is my take on a "UCS" version of the train. It's got full Power Functions incorporated - lights at the front, a motor to power the pistons and wheels (despite its large size it still runs on Lego track) - and what I think is the coolest feature - if you place the train on the base, the motor inside the locomotive powers the Ford Anglia car's swaying (no extra motor is needed). I want to get the Dementors moving too one day, but for now I'm happy with it. There's a video to see it in action in my Flickr album too :) https://flic.kr/s/aHskSx364f "UCS" Hogwarts Express MOC by mouseketeer 111, on Flickr"UCS" Hogwarts Express MOC by mouseketeer 111, on Flickr"UCS" Hogwarts Express MOC by mouseketeer 111, on Flickr Edited April 9, 2017 by mouseketeer Quote
sunhuntin Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 That is brilliantly executed. I love that it has so much movement while also being stationary. Quote
Only Sinner Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Great job on this model. Perfect system scale and it's nice to see an H.E. with proper drivers too. That is the main reason I never bought those sets. Tiny wheels are wrong for this type of steam engine. Yours looks really good. Quote
Hoth Rebel Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Very well done! How many parts is this all together? Quote
