HARRY POTTER HOGWARTS EXPRESS TM

Enter the wizarding world and join Harry, Hermione and Ron on an exciting journey aboard the HogwartsTM Express with this special model from Ugears. Running from King‘s Cross Station in London to Hogwarts Station near Hogwarts CastleTM, this beautiful wooden model train is equipped with a spring–loaded locomotive, a coal tender and a passenger carriage featuring three minifigures of the young wizarding heroes on their way to school. Reassemble the model with the special key, turn the on/off switch on the chimney, and watch the fascinating movement of the locomotive‘s gears, wheels and connecting rods as it strides along. The HogwartsTM Express Ugears can travel 4 meters (with tender and wagon) or 6 meters (locomotive alone) on any flat, smooth surface. This beautiful 3D wooden train model also comes with a section of rails and the Platform 9 3/4 stop pad for a stylish display.

This beautiful locomotive can be used alone or coupled to two wagons, a coal tender and a passenger wagon. The tender has an empty charcoal compartment in which you can store the winding key of the train or other small items. The passenger carriage features three compartments, three opening doors and a removable roof, allowing you to place the Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley minifigures on special stands that move from side to side when the train is in motion. You can also place these character figures next to the train for a cute display, as if youngsters were waiting to ride the magical HogwartsTM Express for another term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The locomotive is the driving force behind this model, with its metal spring motor and gears that transmit power to the moving wheels. The locomotive is reassembled using a special key (winding notches are on the left and right sides of the engine), but first make sure to turn the chimney to the “Stop“ position. Once the spring is wound, hold the model while turning the chimney to the “On“ position, then release and watch the train start in a straight line. See these beautiful locomotive wheels and tie rods in action!

This build–your–own model train recreates the look of the “GWR 5972 Olton Hall“ locomotive used in the Harry Potter film series, based on J. K. Rowling‘s famous books.
