Thought I would share my Hogwarts express MOC.  Been working on this off and on for the last 9 months.  This set was the first steam engine TLG has offered since coming out of my dark ages.  MOC is from two sets, a small bricks and pieces order (red windows) and some spare brick from my collection.  All Hogwarts Express stickers and such have been removed from train.  Station, set came with a very nice cut thru section of a station.  Seamed just to nice to not use.  MOC is basically mirror building one set, adding a few platform sections and connecting them together.            Engine; Changed out the front boiler cover to a non printed one, added 2 studs to the lenght of engine, swapped out the black plate for yellow to match rest of train,and changed out all the Technic connectors to standard magnetic bumpers.  Rebuilt front bumper.   This picture worth all the headaches getting the pictures to display correctly.     Tender; basically rebuilt the whole thing.  Added power functions motor and IR receiver, magnetic bumpers (magnetic bumper swap for whole train).  Increased the length to match the motor.  For the Engine and Tender was going for a classic O-27 scale proportions.  That is what I had as a kid and still looks good to me.  Mind the cable, usually its tucked into the Combine car better. Combine Car.  MOC.  Front section holds the PF battery. Rear section for passenger seating.  Added a bit of detail to the under carriage as thought the original build looked a little plain.  Duel yellow stripping inspired from previous version of this set.  Reworked the roof to added windows.  Inspired by American Wild West Coaches.   Coaches, they are stock less the roof, yellow strips and under carriage bits. Observation car: MOC.  Built to match rest of train.  Opened up the rear for observation area.    Here is a photo of the complete train.  Was tricky getting the yellow lines to line up between everything.  Mind the mess under the table and on our layout.  With the whole COVID-19 mess, kids are home and layout getting a lot of play.   Future plans for the train may include swapping put the Tender motor for a motor actually in the engine (like the Emerald Knight).  Other than that very happy with the build and expect to be running it for years.
