Nic Mate; <br /> <br />I suspect that you are a pom and your ideas are just great and I wish i was 13 again not 67. I too want to make a viaduct have you seen what i had to say about that, it is on the forum under viaduct, it will be 4 metres long with 16 spans. <br /> <br />As far as the Hogwarts Express itself is concerned, I can think of two reasons why nothing has happened so far. <br /> <br />1/ Copyright and the expense involved. <br /> <br />2/ Time; it takes a fair while to get a new engine into production and a lot of cost. and will it just be a passing fad ? ie will they get enoughsales over along enough period to recoup the costs of set up. <br /> <br />I have an LGB Mallet, which will do for my Hogwarts engine and I am also going to put a Swaztika on the side of it at a later date, and use it to pull a WW2 Nazi Fieldmarshals train as well. See an engine like this costs about A$4,000 (mulitply by 0.41 for pounds sterling) to purchase and to me thats alot of money and to a 13 year old lad like yourself, it must be an incredible amount unless you are rich beyond most 13 year olds. <br /> <br />However feel free to ask any question you like and don't be concerned if some of the blokes take a while to answer you, after all we are in different time zones and we all sleep sometime, I am 10 hours ahead of you and the forum is 6 hours behind. There are some really good guys on this forum and between them they know a lot! <br /> <br />Ian the Aussie Grandad.
