Welcome to my Hogwarts Train Layout Page

Since the books first came out, I have been a Harry Potter fan. Two years ago, my daughter took me to Universal Studios to see Harry Potter World. Upon returning, I decided to create an HO scale train layout of Hogwarts. The layout includes Hogwarts Castle, Hagrid's Hut, the Forbidden Forest and lake, Hogsmeade Station and Village and the Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch. Everything in the layout is handmade using wood, cardboard and anything else I could find. My good friend Bill, a life long train guy himself, bought the Hogwarts Express train set for the layout and has been helping with the landscaping, turning the spires for the castle roofs and anything else I need help with. Below are some pictures showing our progress so far. This could take a couple of years to complete so I will add pictures as I go along.
