Lionel Hogwarts train set

Post by gregh » Mon Jun 08, 2020 10:38 am

I have had a Lionel Hogwarts Express train set lying around for years - used to run it for the grandkids.
So recently I got it out again. Put some rechargeable batteries in and have been having some fun.
Here's a video.




And a few pictures....

Very good, Greg. Not sure I can justify one for the PLR, but it looks like an interesting model. Is there a chuff cam for the sound? It looks very well synched with the speed.
