El detalle de fabricación es increíble. A mi novia y a mi nos encantó.

Das war ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für meinen Mann, leider ist der Regler bereits defekt gewesen und ich muss einen neuen kaufen, die auch nicht besonders günstig sind. Ein Umtausch ist natürlich nicht mehr möglich. Für 300 € habe ich wirklich mehr erwartet.

This is a nice set with all you need to set it up and run it in a small oval. The engine works fine, though there is a hum from the motor as it starts, likely due to not quite enough electricity at the lowest settings of the power control. The hum goes away once the motor gets enough juice to start turning and the train moves.Cars are detailed pretty nicely, though you only get 2 of them. I'd recommend picking up some additional track and one or two more cars from Hornby to extend the train to 3 or 4 coaches over all.Do be aware, this is size OO scale, so a little bit larger than US scale HO. It fits the HO track, and will link up with HO train, but the actual cars are just a little larger than their US counterparts.

At Amazon’s price this set is a bargain. With a granddaughter who is keen on Harry Potter I decided to buy it as a return to the hobby. If you can accept the fictional livery the locomotive and coaches are very well modelled. I actually prefer the Hornby Railroad level of detail - the super detailed models are expensive and fragile. It just depends what your goals are.The only negative is that the controller is a bit basic, but as the loco and coaches alone justify the Amazon price, I am not complaining.

The products are worth every cent you pay for them. Definitely recommended!

What I expect from a complete ready to run trainset. If you’re looking for an off the shelf Hogwarts Express, this is it. Will keep most people entertained for hours.Did NOT come with the “playmat” in the image. Engine seems of good quality. Runs well on my 18” radius layout. Cars are plastic, but have a good amount of detail on both the interior and exterior. Couplers will NOT interface with “standard” horn hook or knuckle couplers. They are a European NEM style. So a Kaydee NEM knuckle adapter would be needed if you wanted to use it with your existing stock. Controller is lightweight and lacks the heft of cabs from yesteryear, however it does the job.

Swift delivery and a great likeness to the train in the film, plenty of track and the working headlight is a nice touch.
