Description

The train to Hogwarts

In the first Harry Potter film the pupils board a red steam train at Platform 9¾, and this set picks up exactly that scene. The Hogwarts Express is one of the best-known vehicles of the franchise and was among the early sets that shaped the theme. Model 4758 appeared in 2004 and recreates the locomotive along with its carriages. Fans of the books and films will recognise the silhouette at once, even though the model is simplified.

Red, black and plenty of grey

The main colours are black, red, dark bluish grey and reddish brown. Red and black stand for the engine and boiler, dark grey for the running gear and roof, and reddish brown adds a warm note reminiscent of wood and upholstery. With 94 different part types there is plenty of variety. For your own train models this is a good stock of parts, since such colours also suit steam locomotives and classic carriages very well.

Four figures for the journey

Four minifigures populate the train, matching familiar characters from the story. With 388 pieces the build takes a manageable amount of time, and the result works for play as well as for display. The carriages can be opened, so you can act out the compartment scene. Children who know the story in particular can invent their own adventures here, without the train falling apart after a short while. It makes the train attractive to collectors who care about the scene as much as the model.
