UGears - Hogwarts Express - Harry Potter

Wind up the locomotive with the special key, turn the chimney-shaped start/stop switch, and watch the fascinating movement of the gears, wheels and coupling rods as the locomotive chugs away. On smooth, flat surfaces, the Ugears Hogwarts ExpressTM can travel 4 metres (with tender and carriage) or up to 6 metres (locomotive only). With the rail section and the nine and three-quarter platform buffer stop included, this wonderful wooden 3D model also makes an elegant decorative element.

The beautiful locomotive can travel its way alone or with two carriages attached - the coal tender and a passenger car. The coal tender is empty so it offers space to store the key with which the train is wound up. The passenger car has three compartments, three doors that can be opened and a removable roof to place the figures of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley on a special frame that moves from one side to the other when the train is in motion. When using the model as a decoration, you can also place these figures close to the train, as if they were waiting to board the magical Hogwarts ExpressTM to start a new term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

With its metal spring motor and gears to transmit power to the wheels, the locomotive is the driving force of the model. A special key is used to wind up the locomotive (there are slots to insert the key on both the right and left side of the machine), but first make sure that the chimney is in the "Stop" position. When the spring is wound up, hold the model and turn the chimney to its "Start" position. Watch the wheels and coupling rods of this wonderful train in action!

The DIY model train recreates the appearance of the "GWR 5972 Olton Hall" locomotive used in the Harry Potter film series, based on the magical universe created by J. K. Rowling.
