The handsome locomotive can be run on its own or coupled with two cars—a coal tender and a passenger carriage. The tender has an empty coal compartment in which you can store the train's wind-up key or other small objects. The passenger carriage has three compartments, three doors that open, and a removable roof, allowing you to place the figurines of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley on special mounts that move side-to-side when the train is in motion. You can also place these character figurines next to the train for static display, as though the youngsters were waiting to board the magical HogwartsTM Express for another term at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The locomotive is the driving force of the model, with its metal spring engine and gears that transmit power to the moving wheels. The locomotive is wound using a special key (there are winding slots on both the left and right side of the engine), but first be sure to twist the smokestack to the "Stop" position. Once the spring is wound, hold the model while twisting the smokestack to the "Start" position, then release and watch the train pull out in a straight line. Look at those beautiful train engine wheels and coupling rods in action!
