[5bananas1]

[Chris9017]

@5bananas1 yeah, where is the flying car? LOL

[waxiz24]

I wonder if they have that lady with the candy trolly on there?? Chocolate frogs...Yes please

[LeonimuZ]

How did you get to Platform 9 3/4?

[Whizzer1]

@shortyshlak1704 look online on the Mallaig to Fort Willam website to buy tickets then if you get tickets you will be able to go across the Glenfinnan Viaduct in Scotland which is where Harry Potter and Ron Wealey drive the flying car to hogwarts and the meet the train

[betika97]

Where is that?

[Whizzer1]

@betika97 York England next to the NRM National Railway Museum

[Soldieroide]

[hihat101]

@statusquoman1 , i was there on saturday at the NRM, needs a good clean though!

[statusquoman1]

@hihat101 yes that what i was thinking it was very dirty she could do with a team of steam cleaners on her for a few hours she looks good when she is shineing and clean

[dreambuilders48808]

Shes running this month out of York I think!

[xAnToZx]

Oh man. There isn't much clearence on that.

[BR01097]

What remarkable contrast between the engine exhaust drum reverberating against the roof of the station and the mosquito-like whine of the buzzing chainsaw earlier.  Give me external combustion any day.

[swfn10]

is that the real train or something that looks like it

[SallyMascotita]

I would like to go back to Orlando just to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You are so lucky to live in USA because you are able to go to these theme parks whenever you can or want.

[RMB56K]

go to 9 and 3/4

[MsButters8]

omfg my friend is soo lucky she went to universl on the harry potter thing and got ron weaslsy wand!!

[Sideways101100]

I have a Hornby train set of the Hogworts Express, its the Chamber of Secrets version

[littlekid712]

i wish i was a wizard....................

[matty16222]

whats the movie called how they fly in the car

[CullenAndPotterGirl]

@matty16222 Its called Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets

[vampiressbella5997]

its called the chamber of secrets

[AnthonyEstephane]

the chamber of secrets

[thaicowgirl]

Is this train that they used in the movie?

[RocksNotDead101]

Yes.

[Xbox360Apostolosk]

awesome ! DONT FORGET TO CLOSE THE DOOR OR A DEMENTOR WILL TAKE YOU!

[AnakinsPadawan]

I wish i could take a ride on the Hogwart's Express!!!!!

[SilsdenCougar]

4 days later it failed and 37698 worked the return service. Potters magic had worn off.

[MG06ZT]

Great vid, love 2:50 departing!

[Jonny7railways]

It was great to see this locomotive, thanks for posting this video

[ShaurntheSheep]

I hope after filming harry potter they change it back to GWR green, I meen haveing a GWR Hall in red, its just not right is it, its not LMS.

Or get a red engine like leander or Duchess.

[Ashman595]

so shes likely to stay that colour

[Hilux5972]

Personally i Hope they keep her in this Livery. I mean there are 17 other preserved Halls. Do we really need another green one?

[Marillionmad]

yes

[Ashman595]

i agree with you, she's actually owned by the Warner Brothers though, and once theyve finished with her, i dont know what theyll do with her. apparently they're going to donate her to some sort of harry potter museum.

[34002salisbury]

she's not owend by WB its owned by the west coast railway company

it is used for hauling trains on preserved lines and railtours

[EastMidlandsSteam]

@34002salisbury West Coast dont own it at all, its privately owned and is based at Carnforth.

[SteamMad]

@EastMidlandsSteam Last time i spoke to them they did

[Chris9017]

@EastMidlandsSteam I have a friend who actually knows the owner of the Olton Hall and it's train.

[SteamMad]

@34002salisbury she has only been out on a rail tour 2 times and a heritage railway once because WB charge a fortune in royalties as its painted in the HE colours as far as im aware

[robmasterman]

Great video, I love York station and combined with the bark of an ex GWR two cylinder Hall..brilliant, well done and 5*

[lilemotom]

when this train was in service it was near my house at bombardier where they also did tube trains but that has closed down and become a steel factory

[Efteldier]

At the Dutch release of Book 7 I was on board on this train.. sort like =) It was departing at Utrecht, and it arrived at Amersfoort. It was really cool. Everyone was looking at us, because we were dressed as wizards and witches. Little kids looking at us: 'OMG, It's the Harry Pottertrain!' Awsome, man. It's a really cool locomotive. It smells inside, but it was absolutely awsome.

[trainzrule]

Absouloutly brilliant!!!!!

p.s i love Harry Potter

[dspf85]

get your hand off it mate

[dspf85]

60034 was not withdrawn two days after it was put into service, and the only damage a steam engine can do to itself under high speed is to parts the lner workshops like all railways would have had in stock by the shitload, furthermore i know this because unlike you my knowledge come from the men who worked these engines both in the lner and br not from a book written by some fat arsed wanker who drives a desk for a living, and one of my mate was the regular fireman of 60034 lord farrington

[cazbarmo]

Wow nice steam train. Mallard's the really one is in NRM.

[JohnMGilbert]

I'm glad that you Brits take your steam heritage so seriously. We in the USA are always chasing after the latest and greatest. It's really pathetic

[gguru1]

Yeah, not even our diesels have no class, it's pathetic.

[Trainman11185]

looks just like the royal scot locomotive

[craw111]

So thats the real train they use in the movies?

[dspf85]

peregrine, 4903 lner ,60034 br, entered revenue service on the 1st of july 1938 2 days before mallard set the record why would the pull a brand new engine apart to rebuilt another one, peregrine was withdrawn from service on august 24 1966. mallard had some slight scoring to her central cylinder that was it, and i must say gwr buffs are so easy tick off just bait the hook and wait three seconds

[plasmavore]

its spelled Alton Towers not Olton Towers u twit

[dspf85]

it didnt destroy itself

[dspf85]

it didnt destroy itself

[dspf85]

wot does GWR stand for Gresley Was Right

[catherinefan32]

Great western railway!

[dspf85]

great western railway never built a decent locomotive ever there were just over rated rubbish, gimme an lner engine any day

it stands for gresley was right, mallard the world fastest steam engine, the flying scotsman. thank you

[catherinefan32]

yeah that is why engines like green arrow and mallard are faster than great western engines.I think that it looks like the city of trouro painted red.

[dspf85]

city of truro is a good engine, but no gwr engine has ever done anything that an lner engine couldnt out do. but even though i like british steam iam inclined for obvious reasons towards australian steam type in 3801 and have a look u will see a real loco.

[bathboysteve]

And yet the GWR's 'Cheltenham Spa Express' was the fastest train! (In the world in terms of mileage covered in certain amaount of time)

[bathboysteve]

(Following on from previous...) so i dont know how you can say that the Great Western Never Built A Decent Engine becuase if they didn't then how could they run such a service? Sir William Stanier was trained at Swidon and his Princess Royal Class was almost an enlargement of the GW King, and the survivors of that class are supreme; but no better than a King by any means!!

[Bigaid]

also aswell the fact that it is in that colour has probably paid for its next 3 overhauls.

[Owentheguitarist666]

OMG what have they done to the POOR TRAIN, it should be in its GWR colours lol

naaaaaa looks good lol

[KJH115]

I think the livery looks good, suited Taw Valley when she wore it... and Owen the term is "poor loco" as the loco is the only thing in a different livery...

[stationendproduction]

nah, i thought Taw Valley looked awful on maroon, but for some reason i think it suits the shape of a hall
