I am hoping to get some help from across the pond:-)  I am interested in
building a Hogwart's Express, but am unsure of the type of loco WB
used.  I have uploaded a few pics of it (one taken from the movie
trailer, and the other is the upcoming Bachmann HO release):

What I am wondering is:

1. What kind of engine is this?  And is it this ->BR(S) WC Class 4-6-2
34027 Taw,  or a DH?

2.  Has anyone seen pics of the real thing used in the filming, or where
I might find some?

I would accept help from Yanks as well;-)

TIA,
John

(...) (literally!!!...) I tried looking in your folders but didn't spot any obvious place to look. As to what the Hogwart's Express looks like, isn't that a silly question, sort of? We're all muggles, none of us can see it. I guess the engine used (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
