Who makes or made that Hogwarts Express loco in the FAO Schwartz pics?  Anybody know?

The ones I have found have been:
Marklin: HO
Hornby: OO

[Brutus]

Thanks - I've got an HO set that came from Bachman....   Is OO comparable to HO or O gauge in size?  Probably couldn't afford it anyway....

[tmcc man]

Jim Fortner OO is the size of HO. That is a very nice set indeed.

[Brutus]

Thanks, that's what I thought.  Already have the HO set - it was my first toy train since a Santa Fe Freight HO set when I was a kid.

OO runs on the same gauge track but is a larger scale 1:76 versus 1:87 not much difference buit a difference just the same. At least that is what I have been told.

You are correct on that one pal.

I must be blind.  Did not see the repair.  Maybe I should enlarge.  Great job.

It was an O scale item. Not sure who made it? I had them take it out of the display case for a picture!

A prison for my layout.....that sounds tempting.  I could have a glow everytime we flip the switch on old sparky.  You could have prisoners attemting breakouts.  Sleeping guards.  Women with fast cars on the outside.  Search lights, too.   

Thanks for sharing.
