Hogwarts Express, 1/48, Scratchbuilt


Recommended Posts

Oh my goodness!!    What a wonderful result Caroline!    I hope you are suitably proud of what you've accomplished here ... and probably taught your Dad a few things about steam engines too.   This is just a fabulous setting for such a fine engine (pity it's not an LNER one though ... ask Dad).  

 

I see you came to the same decision as me when you were done ... never again.   I said that after my first one then quickly decided to do another after which I said ... never again.   Now I've started a third engine!!    It's some kind of disease I guess.

 

I'm really keen to see what you'll tackle next.

It never fails ... for years I was scouring the internet for good details on my Scotsman and today I found them!   At the same time I found wonderful detailed drawings for a certain Hogwarts locomotive too!

 

Just in case you feel like doing another one.

Thanks for the ‘bump’ @bissyboat
 

Looking at this again though I see the photos don’t really do the model justice. One day soon I might spend some time on these, lighten them up and add some smoke and steam perhaps. 
 

The model won ‘people’s choice’ at WASMEx 2022. A new comp category ‘co-operative builds’ (Models built by more than one person) was added to allow this to enter the comp, so this was a great result all round. 👍
