UGEARS Roxfort Expressz - mechanical model

The UGEARS Roxfort™ Expressz is a mechanical wooden model of the Hogwarts Express from the Harry Potter world. It recreates the GWR 5972 Olton Hall locomotive seen in the film series. The kit contains 504 parts, laser-cut into wooden sheets, which snap together without glue or special tools. The estimated assembly time is seven hours, and the build is rated advanced.

The locomotive is powered by a metal spring motor and gears that drive the wheels. The spring is wound with a special key through openings on both sides of the motor, and the chimney's stop and start settings control the run. Once wound, the train moves in a straight line. The carriage has three compartments, three openable doors and a removable roof, and the empty coal bunker can store the winding key or small items.

Figures of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley can be placed inside the carriage, where they move with the train, or beside the model as a display. It suits Harry Potter fans, model builders and collectors, and families looking for a craft project to build together. The assembled model measures 90.5 x 12.5 x 10 cm.
