Hogwarts Express Custom

Hogwarts Express tender & engine almost complete. I'm reasonably happy with the whole thing, but may do some more mods soon. Although it does lack some of the complexities of other builds I've seen, I'm happy with the overall proportions and feel.

The wheel spacing of the tender is a little short, but I've devised a system to float some small wheels in the teasing holes that Lego have moulded into the PF train motor. The alternative of adding a third wheel behind the motor just looked too long to me.

Note the IR receiver neatly tucked into the tender.

Also, I am aware that this isn't sitting on Lego track - But that is the only non-lego item.
