Harry Potter Hogwarts Express - John & Ross Neal http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2592107 John and Ross have such a great feel for proportions and details. The puffers an running gear are amazing to see in action. And the lead trucks don’t turn; they just swing out over the curves. Note the use of a single strip of black tape on the tender to provide the yellow/black/yellow striping. The front of the boiler is just a tad out of alignment as this lok was involved in a bad accident at the show that took out several trains and part of the enginehouse. But with several expert train AFOLs on hand all were rebuilt in minutes.

The Polar Express 1225 - John & Ross Neal http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2592119 Another of John and Ross’s gems. The running gear details are so intricate. It features plenty of hoses and three train motors for plenty of traction. The passenger cars just out of shot are equally amazing.

Thanks for the compliments, Brian, but I just want to make clear that, short of bank-rolling these MOCs, I can take no credit for their design or creation!

I merely bask in the glow:-)
