As predicted, a train and engine, though since the train is obviously
magical it doesn't need a seperate car to carry something as mundane as coal.
The box artists seem to have recognised that the underside of the engine was
so realistic they couldn't resist covering it with steam. Big wheels, small
wheels, piston rods? who knows? The front of the engine is pretty much as
seen on the creator box art, with means the font on the boilerplate is
totally inappropriate. For the first time I'm considering brasso without
having owned the piece for a while. Other than that, white fences, red
pillars, printed clock, and plenty of (technic compatable?!) wheels.

Hogwarts Castle or Half-a-Castle? On the other hand if that's the worst
thing to say about this castle then it's a really spiffy set. (Sand?)Green
and Tan make it one of the most realistically coloured buildings in ages.
With no raised baseplate the are more bricks to build it up (much like the
Flying Ninja Fortress). Including useful items like the wizard's beard and
(fingers really really crossed,) the European armour peice to go with the
visor. At least two 2x3 arch top grill windows, And droid escape roundwalls
with brick print.
