Ugears Harry Potter Hogwarts Express

Enter the wizarding world and join Harry, Hermione and Ron on an exciting journey aboard the HogwartsTM Express with this special working model train from Ugears. This beautiful wooden model train departs from King’s Cross Station in London and heads for Hogsmeade Station near Hogwarts Castle.

It has a spring-powered locomotive, a coal tender and a passenger carriage carrying three figurines of the young wizarding heroes on their way to school. Wind up the model with the special key, turn the chimney’s start/stop switch and watch the locomotive’s gears, wheels and connecting rods move enchantingly as it chugs forward. The Ugears HogwartsTM Express can travel 4 metres (with tender and carriage) or 6 metres (locomotive only) on any smooth, flat surface. This beautiful 3D wooden model train also comes with a section of track and a Platform 9 buffer stop for an elegant display. The locomotive can run on its own or together with two cars: a coal tender and a passenger carriage. The tender has an empty coal bin where you can store the train’s winding key or other small items. The passenger carriage has three compartments, three opening doors and a removable roof, so you can place the Harry Potter, Hermelien Griffel and Ronald Wemel figurines on special supports that move back and forth as the train moves.

The locomotive is the driving force of the model, with its metal spring motor and gears transferring power to the moving wheels. The locomotive is wound up with a special key (there are winding slots on both the left and right sides of the motor), but make sure you first turn the chimney to the “Stop” position. Once the spring is wound, hold the model while turning the chimney to the “Start” position, then let go and watch the train pull forward in a straight line. Just look at those beautiful locomotive wheels and connecting rods in action! You can choose to leave your finished model in its attractive natural wood finish, paint it in the colours of the ZweinsteinTM Express as seen in the Harry Potter films, or give it your own original finish. (Paint not included.) This beautiful train model will appeal to Potterheads everywhere, train enthusiasts, model-making hobbyists, model train collectors, and anyone who enjoys working with their hands and building things. The HogwartsTM Express model train set is a great gift idea for parents of children who love the Harry Potter book and film series, or for parents looking for a fun craft project to build together with their children.
