LEGO Hogwarts Express Step by Step Upgrade (set 75955)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

This is a requested video show step-by-step how I motorized the LEGO Hogwarts Express Train and includes a Studsburg 3.0 sneak peek!

I’ve made this video as a few people have asked me for the parts list to upgrade the Hogwarts Express that I showed in my previous video.

Here’s that LEGO Parts List for you to download and import to Bricklink.

Note: in the video, I used a Minifigure base, but in the parts list, I’ve swapped that for a studded 1×4 tile, but that’s up to you to decide.

Now, in my original video, I had used grey pieces as I hadn’t yet ordered the red and black bits I needed. This has now been rectified thanks to my last BrickLink order.

Some Tips

I’ll show you the things you need to know, build it up at a high speed in HD. This means you can pause each frame and see exactly what I did in it.

Overall, I am very, very happy with the end result. This new tender – the mark 3 as I’m calling it – is rock solid and will hopefully work well for anyone that builds it!

There are some optional bits like the coal I’ve put on top. Seen other people do this and think it really adds to the look. You may also want to fill the gap into the left of where the cable is. Again, up to you. This is just my suggestions.

Let me know what you think of this build along with any suggestions when you’ve finished watching the video and don’t forget to like it on YouTube!
