Hogwarts Express

I never had a model train growing up, but received one as an adult a few years ago.  Knowing how much I enjoy the Harry Potter books and movies, a dear friend gave me the Hogwarts Express as a Christmas gift.  The set consists of the engine, tinder car, and two passenger cars on an oval track. 

Last night Frank and I put it together under our Christmas tree in the den.  The track sits perfectly on the antique tree skirt that Frank recently bought.  We added a village scene, too.  Now, under the magic of the twinkling lights, shiny ornaments and tree branches, the red and black wizard train travels on its magical journey.
