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.

Heh, why did I have this feeling when I was working on my 4 studs wide macaroni
boiler, that I had to hurry up or else I’d be beaten to it by somebody else? ...
I like the wagons the best, with their curved undersides; that’s what English
wagons look like. The whole thing is actually pretty nice: there’s not much that
could be done to make it look more like the prototype.
The reason that an “actually” crept into the previous sentence is that (and now
some gentle criticisms, or rather suggestions, will follow) it’s hard to rest
one’s eyes on the renders as the luminosity of the red (a warning color, after
all) is far too bright. And maybe the roof of the locomotive cab should be black
after all. Lastly, why haven’t you added a side rod to the big ben wheels of the
locomotive, it ought to work with that design.
Cheers,
Martin
