It is not 9V compatible, since it uses the "normal" wheels like known from the
"Adventurer" sets by Lego. Of course it will be easy for any train-head to
exchange the wheels against 9V wheel sets....

Definitely no motor in engine and car.

Yippy!
I don't think so: TLC counts 1 US$ = 2 DM (for e.g. Sopwith Camel: 50$ or 100
DM). I don't know why it is this way: taxes or shipping costs?
So you will have to expect a price of 127 DM = 60 .. 65 $US
Kind Regards,

Just my 2 cents:
If you really want a Potter train, you have to buy this one, but if you want a
nice train, you better buy a KT107 plus a pair of 10015 passenger waggons for
the same money.
