Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago James contacted me and asked if I’d 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 I’ve 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 Ben’s Bricks wheels

As usual, I knew I’d forget stuff.
PPS. Now cross-posted to .harrypotter and .announce.moc
PPPS. I’d like to thanks James for asking me to work on this
PPPPS. Now Martin Nilsson knows why I was teasing him about macaronis
PPPPPS. And the carriages are seven-wide to those interested
