Kreativer Kombinierer Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Hello folks, I am new on Eurobricks. Today I would like to show you my Hogwarts-Express MOC. In my view the official LEGO Hogwarts Express Sets were not really detailed at all. So I constructed my own version a time ago. The train is hereby only a little bit inspired by the movies. It can be more seen as a product of my own phantasy when I read the novels. The idea to use this kind of steel spoked wheel was inspired by Ben´s April-Fool-Joke-Locomotive.

Electricsteam Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Wait what..... I'm confused about those wheels.... that's definitely a wheel I have not seen before on a lego train. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Brilliant! I've been wanting to build my own version for a while. I like how you did the passenger cars. Using the clear panels instead of the expensive red windows is smart. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that. I did buy a handful of the red windows though so I may still go that route, but I like how it turned out with the panels. Quote
legonerd54321 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Wait what..... I'm confused about those wheels.... that's definitely a wheel I have not seen before on a lego train. Those look like standard O gauge wheels Quote
Murdoch17 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Now that's how you build Hogwarts Express coaches! (The loco looks nice too!) I may have to steal that window idea since the original frames are so hard to find in quantity. Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 This looks great! The shape of the front is perfect. Quote
Capn Frank Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 in the Train Tech Forum you will find my Hogwarts Express MOC: Merged topics. Lets make only one topic in all of EB for one MOC please. Quote
THERIZE Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I love the coaches!! Nice interior with the bar. The baggage wagon also looks nice. Quote
dr_spock Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Welcome aboard. Great job on the train and detailing/decaling. What kind of wheels are those? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 This is the best version of Hogwarts Express I've ever seen! I really like the steel spoked wheels! The internal details look very nice! Quote
monai Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) really nice! plenty of details and charme. Those wheels are fantastic, could you said us something more about them? (what they come from, I guess O gauge but where have you found them?) Edited January 31, 2016 by monai Quote
Kreativer Kombinierer Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks for all the nice comments! The wheels are from LGB, a german model railroad company: http://www.lgb.de/ Quote
