Very cool

I am enjoying building the Hogwarts Express very much especially as I am painting it all like the example in the UTube video. I am doing it backwards really as I did the track first and then the carriage and the tender and then the engine. I enjoyed doing the first three bits but the engine is giving me a few problems. Parts 1 to 5 were quite difficult to make and it would be. Helpful if there were spares. the gears on page 10 were difficult to complete as the pieces are fragile and require a lot of strength and dexterity to complete. It is very easy to break pieces 24, 25, 28, 29, and 32, spares would be very useful and when I assembled them all some of the holes in pieces 9 and 34 seemed small and I had to do quite a bit of filing to get them to fit. I broke a couple of the washers no 27 and had to fix them with super glue. So a couple of spares would have been very handy. In spite of that the model is great and I will send some photos when i’ have finished it. 2 more small points. I found it hard to paint the signs on 162 and 164. If the lettering were more pronounced it would be easier to paint, and I also found the hammer you provided in your Ugears Expess Train essential for this model. These models are great fun and I am hoping to do your QUIDDITCH PINBALL next. I have not produced nice music on my Hurdygurdy yet but like to try.

Very cool

A very funny model, not difficult to assemble, very similar to the original train from the movie with cool cartoon characters. Harry Potter fans will definitely love this model. Review can be viewed on the channel Incredible Gears.

Very cool

The model is very accurate in terms of detail, but it was harder to assemble than other models I've made before. The pieces fit together very tightly, and I think that's why I can't get the moving mechanism to work.

I shopped online at CoolThings Au for my grandkids who live in Australia. It's always challenging to get them timely Christmas and birthday presents, since I live in Canada. The website was easy to navigate, delivery was prompt and as advertised, and my grandkids loved the gifts. ...
