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

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.
