@gunrunnerjohn posted:While the Hogwart's will pull five or six cars, don't kid yourself about the longevity. I've replaced a bunch of those small flat-sided set motors in starter sets, and the Hogwart's locomotive is about the heaviest one I've ever seen that uses the small motor.
I took a second locomotive and had Frank Timko install a properly sized motor in it, it will replace my small motored model.
Re-motoring the Hogwart's Express
Here's the re-motored locomotive chassis, this will eventually be what is in front of my Hogwart's cars.
Is that the chassis you added the ERR and Super Chuffer to John? That motor reminds me of a Pittman but the flywheel looks different.
