My regular followers know I’m a big fan of LEGO Trains, but if you’re new here, be sure to subscribe as I have lots of train plans ahead including how to upgrade the LEGO City Trains such as the 60197 that was released in 2018.

This custom LEGO Train MOC has been extended by 2 studs and the centre whistle moved back 2 studs. This was to better match the real Hogwarts Express train – although I might change it further but then the tender would need an extension too.

For the carriages, I’m using a 24-stud long train carriage base (the same size as city trains like the LEGO City Passenger Train 60197). I decided they were a good size as my layout is quite short and this way they all match (and save arguments with corners!).

Both carriages have working doors, and a few extra details and one is fitted out as a full dining car now. Don’t forget to say hi to Dr McBrick and GJBricks in the dining car!

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

Also, how do you think this fares against the new LEGO 2022 Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition (76405)? It definitely doesn’t cost anywhere near as much, fits on normal LEGO Train tracks and actually moves on it’s own! Woohoo!
