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;-)

This has already come up in .harrypotter but the link you want is
http://www.hpgalleries.com/mgallery6.htm
Which shows the engine 5972 "Olton Hall" both before filming (in it's Great
Western livery) and as "Hogwarts Express"
It is a "Hall" class 4-6-0

for more information (mainly on the few preserved engines.)

Hope this helps (even if it's from an Australian)

James (who notes that James the Red engine is also a 4-6-0 Mixed traffic)
