I'd suggest you look for some British freight stock to use on these runs - ex-Great Western would fit best with the Hogwarts loco and US-outline models wouldn't look right alongside the Hall class somehow, even in the Potter universe. Bachmann's "Blue Riband" range has some superb models available, www.bachmann.co.uk has an online catalogue of what's out there. Dapol ( www.dapol.co.uk ) also offer some good models, particularly private-owner coal wagons (they seem to have new paint schemes on a monthly basis!). Considering how many coal fires Hogwarts seems to have, they must get that from somewhere. A train of around 10-20 of these wagons looks pretty impressive and sounds good too if you fit metal wheels throughout. Hornby and Bachmann both have suitable ex-GWR brake vans (cabooses), of the two I'd say the Hornby model has the edge though they're both based on late '70s mouldings (Airfix and Mainline respectively). Hope this is of some help!
