    Happy New Year all! I have started this as a new topic as I hope to post video and photo updates on my latest MOC, my Hogwarts Castle. Here is the first video I have created about it which is a general overview - any comments or suggestions are much appreciated and I will try and get back to everyone. Thank you!

    Hello all! I realise after starting this topic I've been very bad at updating it - I've now made two more video updates, each looking at part of the castle in more detail, with part 4 coming out tomorrow. Let me know what you think!

    Thank you so much - I have to say I’m very proud of it, took a lot of designing and re-designing. I’m going to try and have my detailed great hall video out on Friday so keep and eye out for that - I’ll post a link to the video here once it’s published.

    Hello everyone!! I hope I'm right in making this a new topic - and that it should be in train tech and not in licensed. I've been working for a while on my own Hogwarts Express MOC. I know I'm not the first person to do this and I bow before many people who've done superb jobs - but here's my take on it! I've linked the two YouTube videos I've made about the locomotive and the carriage so feel free to have a watch. Or if not, there are a few photos which show what I've made. I'm very happy to answer any questions, as well as pointing people in the direction of my inspirations if they're looking for some themselves.

    Thank you so much! That’s incredibly kind - 7 wide, despite the drawbacks, seems to work perfectly for British outline rolling stuck, still waiting on Lego to come out with some more odd numbered plates to make our lives a bit easier!

    Thanks, I did nearly give up and stick with 6-wide but that extra stud really makes the difference even if it’s a lot harder to build in! I also looked at a 5 wide boiler - or I think there’s a technique which makes a 4.8 wide which would’ve been perfect - but given that it tapers and I was already ignoring that I thought I could get away with it!

    Thank you!

    Thank you! I did think about using the wheels on technic axles combination but the wheel sets just roll much more easily - which should help if I make more carriages! I thought of custom rods, but for the moment my target was 100% Lego. Thanks very much! I did look at tapered boilers - I think Carl Greatrix and Britishbricks both managed them on their Hogwarts Expresses but it was a little too complicated for me. If I ever manage to source some BBB wheels or something similar I might have to try a redesign if I can!
