| Can someone help me with figure out how the guy in this video modded the train?
https://youtu.be/umFZekC4mOw?feature=shared
Would love to buy the train and get it running as well. I own a lot of 2001-2002
HP sets and want a train to use as a Pokemon go egg hatcher so why not kill two
birds with one stone? Problem is am not an experienced with the pieces required
to get a train running. Stuck on how he got wheels that can turn. But also don’t
know anything about Lego motors.

From the video description
Motorizing the LEGO Hogwarts Express 4708 from 2001 is surprising easy if you
have the right parts. 4708 is built on standard LEGO train base plates and the
wheels can be swapped out for a 9V LEGO train motor and some bogeys to help the
LEGO Hogwarts Express to navigate corners.

Are other rails like the modern ones also compatible with this train motor?
Or is the iron needed for whats the word.. forming a circuit? Why recommend that
one, is it the same as the one in the video or another reason? Sixteen curved
or straight? Don't see a number for the straight so you can add however many
as long as you have sixteen curves? Sorry for the many questions and thanks for
the help!

Sorry 16 curve and 2 straight for a loop. I listed 9v stuff since that is what
is in the video but you can use modern motors as well and they are cheaper.

So you make a train by attaching the motor to the bottom and adding wheels, on
top goes a battery pack and you hide it with the exterior of the train. You will
also need a remote that is compatibel with the motor. Do I understand it correctly?
bb0892c01 is a very chonkey looking boi. 58123c01 Confused me what does it do?

yes with a boogie plate the motor attaches to the bottom of the train plate.
add wheels to the motor.
on top goes a battery pack and you hide it with the exterior of the train.?
yes the motor needs power and you hide the battery inside the train compartment.
you will also need a remote that is compatibel with the motor?
yes certain motor use certain controllers.
This might be the cheapest solution to motorize it but you need to check if the
Harry Potter train is 30 studs long.
powers with batteries and has the r.c. sensors built in
motor but you need the wheels:
* | | 55423c01 Train Wheel RC, Spoked with Technic Axle Hole and Rubber Friction Band
Parts: Wheel |
controller for the motor
wire that attaches the motor to the batteries for power or any lights you want
to add
There is most likely a youtube video on how to do a conversion.

| Also just have a look at the instructions for a set that contains the motors,
you will see how they attach and how the parts are hidden ect.

project to completed!

Second reply but those are some spicy prices. It seems it will be easier on the
purse to look for modern parts that might work.

As mentioned by the other reply, those are old 90's 9v motor parts. I grew
up on these, they aren't hard to use.
Since you aren't familiar with them, my only caution is that by this point,
some of the tracks available for sale have started to corrode, so caveat emptor.

Wonder if you can remove the rust on them with cola like I did some other parts.

| I've had some luck restoring them, but in the end its quite a bit of effort,
any little flaw in the metal will break the circuit, easier to not bother with
it IMO.
