Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago James contacted me and asked if Id be interested in
working on a preliminary design of a Hogwarts engine he had made. It was good
timing since I was getting rather bored with no new projects so I started.
Firstly I completed James engine design with a few modifications and new
touches. I also added a tender to it and did up some
instructions.
After that James and I passed back and forth some carriage designs which slowly
got more SNOTted as we added new concepts. I was determined to get some
internals in too which made life a little more difficult. Since this is meant to
be a toy train (albeit an expensive one with current BL prices), we wanted to
make it IR compatible which meant making a special carriage based around the
baseplate. Anyway, end result (version 4 for the interested) has
instructions too.
As usual, I did a
wallpaper
render too. The whole gallery is found
here.
It was an extremely satisfying process and Ive learnt a lot from it. It was
really fun working with someone whose work I admire so much and from whom I have
liberated so many techniques. I hope you like the end result.
Tim
PS. The wheels in the engine are all Big Bens Bricks wheels

| (...) Nice effort, Tim and James. This is especially interesting to me (and Ross) because we (in the sense that I acquire the needed bricks and he assembles them;-) have studied the Hogwarts Express at length, from finding pics and schematics online (...)
