@izwolle No. The Locomotive in the films is Olton Hall, a GWR Hall class engine re-painted from Bunswick Green to 'Hogwarts Red'. There is a standing joke about the name 'Hogwarts Castle' indicating that the Hall wants to be a, more superior, Castle Class. (Rough GWR naming convention dictates that the engines class was in its name) Oddly, the Hornby model is not of a Hall but of a Castle.
@whitewingsrich incorrect sir, it is actually a 'Princess Royal' class of 1933 and at the time of their construction were the largest locos on the LMS. The Coronation Pacifics came 3-4 years later. This was the second loco of the class, one of 2 that survived, the other being Princess Margaret Rose
Stamping her feet a little, thats all..

Not much of a wheel slip really, good control by the driver I would say.

My late father loved her the pride of the LMS

@Avatar230594 close the regulator briefly to see if the engine will regain its footing with less power and if necessary drop sand on the rails
