RE: the Hogwarts cars <br /> <br />I think there's a few ways to get these, depending on how much you're willing to invest. You might be lucky and find a dealer splitting sets up and selling the contents seperately (happens a lot on ebay over here - split an LGB set (for example) and the contents are worth far more than the set price). Other alternatives: Hornby also have Hogwarts stock, though $35 -$40 each (at current exchange rates) might not be acceptable. Bachmann UK have some gorgeous models of the BR Mk1 coaches (the base for the Hogwarts cars) for around the same price, though they don't offer the full paint scheme - you'd have to buy their standard BR Crimson examples and renumber them/change the BR logo for the Hogwarts one. <br /> <br />Final alternative would be to track down some cheap Mainline Mk1s - the Bachmann Hogwarts coaches look to be the old Mainline mouldings (Mainline and Bachmann were owned by the same company, Kader - Mainline were shut down in the mid-80s, some of the models re-appeared under the Bachmann name a few years later) so a few of these in BR Crimson (or repainted into same) would match the cars you already have and be a lot cheaper. Try hunting on www.ebay.co.uk or the US ebay site - you might find some on the US one but you'll definitely find some on the UK site. Don't pay more than £10 per coach - some go for crazy money to the collectors market but spending around this much should get you decent condition usable models. Hope this is of some help!
