In this video I’ll show you the changes I made to the fabulous LEGO Hogwarts Express train using a second set and some parts from Bricklink.
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 saves arguments with corners!).
Both carriages have working doors, 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!

Hi, any chance you could post the parts list for your carriages please?
Hey Robert, sorry to say I didn’t document it. Maybe one day I will do a V2 with instructions.
