Brick Fanatics LEGO Advent Calendar – December 12

Brick Fanatics brings 24 new, exclusive builds in the countdown to Christmas this December. Day by day, please enjoy our Unofficial LEGO Advent Calendar…

December 12 – Harry Potter – Hogwarts Express

This was the build that I knew I wanted to do right away for this feature. I have always enjoyed creating micro scale trains, specifically steam engines, and there were some techniques for them that I have not used in a while I wanted to revisit. Like many micro builds I have created, this one relies on the “Travis Brick” to allow for tiles going in every direction in a small space, as well as leaving the perfect connection point for the Pneumatic T-Bars which are used as the axles.

More of David’s builds can be found on his Flickr profile under the alias dzambito42.

You can find more LEGO builds and inspiration in Brick Fanatics Magazine, available to buy now.
