Title: Hogwarts 4-6-0
Post by: lifeguarder1981 on December 16, 2023, 07:48:14 PM
Anyone know what engine the Hogwarts 4-6-0 takes? 52 or 63 drive 4-6-0. Train doesn't seem to be getting any power. Other trains still work..

Hi lifeguarder,

The Hogwarts Express locomotive is a completely unique model based on a British design. The chassis and parts from the American Baldwin 4-6-0 will not fit it.

By "engine" are you referring to the motor? The Hogwarts Express section of our website shows we don't have the specific motor for the locomotive in stock, but if you contact the service department they can check if they have a similar motor from another locomotive that will fit. They can also help you troubleshoot just to check that there isn't a quick fix that can be done without a motor replacement.
