Good luck with that...

Just don't forget there are other colours out there:

And I love this shot that Huw took:

I went for an actual 'Castle' class. That's what 'Hogwart's Castle' is supposed
to be, but they couldn't get a Castle for the film. The Hornby model is
actually a Castle, since they didn't have a Hall class mould. I think I'll have
to re-do mine in dark green.
Personally, I think the BBB wheels below the sole plate make the boiler a little
too high on Tim's engine. If I do rebuild mine, I'll stick with the model-team
sizes, though it means I can't do full linkages.
The curves on the carriages are nicely done, but they do come up quite high and
raise everything higher above the bogeys. They would certainly look better on a
larger scale model, but an excellent job on fitting them in. Why not use BBB
small wheels and design some lower profile bogeys? Then you could insert a
plate or two of red between the tops of the curves and the yellow stripe.
It may not be the neatest method, but here's how I've attached things to a
macoroni boiler:

| (...) 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 (...)
