>>9972259>10-wide (???)>They made new driving wheels but they're practically impossible to use in-scale with any other previous Lego train outside of something like a Stirling Single>Track display is built so the rails are 5 studs apart, meaning you can't use this thing on actual Lego track>Even if it did, the sheer size of it would mean it wouldn't be able to navigate lego's R40 curves.>Making yet another Red Hogwarts Express instead of actually taking the time to make a more accurate Dark Red one for once>Making the trim on the tender stick out like half a stud instead of making it flush with the rest of the train>Coach only has 3 windows because you NEED to be able to see the four different Harry Potters this set comes with inside>UCS plaque is on the Platform 9 3/4s side so if you want to display it you have to hide a third of the trainI mean it's still the most accurate Hogwarts Express Lego's released in terms of proportions, but I think they shot themselves in the foot with having to do a fully detailed coach interior with the enclosed compartments and a hallway. As /lg/'s resident trainfaggot I was really looking forward to this set and the potential juicy new train parts that it would bring, but even those can't be used by people who build in 6,7, or even 8 wide. 10 wide simply isn't a thing amongst lego train communities, so it's clear this thing was designed to appeal to the Harry Potter crowd first far more than it was to the train crowd.
Guess I'll go and bricklink my own Hall class since it's clear Lego's never gonna do a proper one.
