Unbelievable Hogwarts Express Train in Minecraft!

Drama smith here with a very special tutorial we are making the hogwarts express this is a gwr460 engine this is the alton hall number 5972 as used in the harry potter films it has an lner corridor tender attached i’ll tell you why later in the meantime let’s get building

And to build the hogwarts express you need the following yeah that’s a lot okay let’s list it off three red concrete 39 gray or brown terracotta four pistons eight levers eighteen nether bricks sixty nether brick stairs 26 iron trap doors 16 hoppers 13 black stone wall 16 black stone 9 black stone stairs

32 black stone slabs 13 polished black stone bricks 16 polished black stone brick stairs six polished black stone 13 polished black stone slabs four polished black stone pressure plates four red nether brick wall 250c red nether bricks 53 red nether brick stairs 74 red nether brick slabs six acacia buttons

Four polished black stone buttons around 60 blocks of coal maybe a couple more or a couple less three grindstones three dark oak signs 14 dark oak slabs one dark oak door one birch door three spruce trap doors seven darko trapdoors one item frame one blast furnace one compass two end rods one bell

41 pieces of black carpet 32 pieces of red carpet two lanterns three yellow dye and optional four red banners with a yellow fest and then a red face laid over the top and two red banners with a white rondelle and of course waste blocks of your choice i find dirt is good enough

Begin with laying down your track i like to use anvils and oak slabs i got the idea for the anvil track from crafty fox pick a starting point lay down your waist block and on top of it place one two three red concrete and get rid of your waste block now

We’re gonna make buffers for the front of the train i got these from crafty fox there’s a link in the description to his channel so we place a piston on its side and another piston on its side either end of the red bar that we’ve made levers flip them down buffers

In between the levers a black stone wall for a coupling and on top of each piston a lantern now come round behind the back and from the middle of this red concrete bar we’re going to place 22 grey terracotta one two three twenty one twenty two

Coming back to the front we’re going to start on our wheels so leave a one block gap and with nether brick stairs place one right way up on the second block from the front and underneath it another stair upside down come in front of them and place one

Two so you end up with this cross shape that’s our first wheel just pretend it’s round now we’re going to leave a gap of three one two three and we’re going to place a right way up near the brick stair and an upside down one and round the back we’re going to repeat

That mirrored now we’re going to do our large wheels leave a gap of one and place another brick on the next one and under that an upside down nether brick stair next to that another brick and an upside down near the brick stair and on top of that

Another brick put a piece of wall in between leave a one block gap and repeat this on the next set now leave a two block gap one two and do the same thing again that’s all our wheels for this side now go around the other side and repeat all of this

That’s our wheels finished let’s get on with the rest of the undercarriage i’ll do one side and then we’ll repeat it on the other so come to the front and behind one of the pistons an upside down red nether brick stair in between the first two sets of wheels one two

Three blackstone and one two three blackstone stairs between the next wheels a top half dark oak slab same between the next and two between the next two at the end of the last wheel a black stone wall and then one two polished black stone and underneath those two polished black stone slabs

And on this last one a bottom half black stone slab now come back to this piece of wall and on the terracotta underneath in line with this wall place a black stone slab connecting rods next on this second wheel so one two two iron trap doors at the bottom of the top stairs

On this next wheel an iron trap door at the top of the bottom stairs and then iron trap doors in line with this one all the way along to the first blocks on the last wheel so it should look like that that’s the connecting rods one last block to place behind this red

Nether brick stair a polished black stone slab repeat all this on the other side with all that done come to the end and between the two polished black stone blocks place one two grindstones for couplings you’ll have to shift-click to place the second one back at the front with black carpet

One two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven pieces of black carpet and now we’re ready to start on the boiler so come to this row of black stone that’s just behind the carpet one two three black stone same on the other side and one polished black stone brick between

Now you can fill in between with black stone or if you don’t want to waste it use dirt no one is going to see what’s inside now again with this next one you can make this polished black stone brick or you can make it dirt it’s entirely up to you

But whatever you place there you place a polished black stone brick in front on top of that polished black stone and on all three sides of that polish black stone brick and now in these spaces polish blackstone brick stair that’s the front of our boiler on the polish black stone

A lever and flip it down now for the rest of the front part of the boiler come round the back and one two three one two three and one polished black stone brick and fill in these gaps with polished black stone brick stair now you can just fill in the rest of

This like this but if you want a fire so you’ve got smoke coming out of the smoke stack leave a one block gap and then place polish blackstone brick at the last one place a block here can be whatever you want no one’s going to see it

And on top of that block place a campfire now polished blackstone on top all of this is spawnable to spawn proof it polished blackstone pressure plates now you have to use a pressure plate rather than carpet because carpet severely reduces the amount of smoke that will come out your stack

Pressure plate’s definitely the way to go okay a bit of decoration so polished black stone buttons on the first and last of each of the blocks on the side and then black stone wall second from the end and one underneath now fill in the inside with whatever

Block you want or spawn proof it or put a light in but make sure that you have a black stone block at the bottom there now for the rest of the boiler with red nether brick pick one of these three points doesn’t matter which go back eleven one two three four

Five six seven eight nine ten eleven do the same here and do the same on this bottom one and now underneath here come back one two three four now fill in all these gaps with red nether brick stair including underneath all the way to the end

Again fill the inside or spawn proof it somehow now directly behind these black stone blocks one two three four five six black stone slabs and then one two and three black stone stairs and behind those stairs in the middle you want seven nether brick one two three four five six

Seven that should bring us one short of the end of the boiler now on the top come to the far end leave a gap of one two and then place your bell so that it’s arcing like this that’s the best i can do for a dome and

Run red carpet along the top to spawn proof i wish we had red near the brick pressure plates we don’t now grab your acacia buttons on the boiler in line with the black stone wall in this first large wheel put an acacia button on the nether brick on the side

Now we’re going to do some prep for the wheel arches so put a black stone block above each black stone wall of your first two large wheels bottom half black stone slab between and one either side and then a right way up red near the brick stair at the end

Do that over the other side fire box next next to this red near the brick stair we’re going to place one two three four red nether brick blocks build that up to a height of four and top it off with four bottom half red nether brick slabs same on the other side

And fill the gap between with bottom half red nether brick slabs and now fill this in or light it or spawn proof it whatever it is that you’re doing and if you are filling it leave this last column empty now we’re going to grab our buttons

Again and on the same row as this button but on the first column of the fire box we’re going to place a an acacia button leave a gap place another do the same around the other side and now we’re ready for the wheel arches so come to the front of the train and

Behind this carpet we’re going to place seven bottom half red nether brick slabs and the seventh should be in line with this black stone stair now three red nether brick blocks which are in line with that large wheel red nether brick slab bottom half on top

One more next to it and then another three in line with the next wheel with the red nether brick slab bottom half in the middle two more slabs and three more blocks with a slab on top that’s the wheel arches now these blocks here are actually spawnable

If you don’t want mobs hitching a lift spawn proof them with red carpet not the best solution but the best one i can come up with repeat that on the other side now for the cab next to this block one two three red nether brick blocks build

It up to a height of three red nether brick wall either end and an end rod in between you could use iron bars i like the android for light do that on the other side now we’re going to build the cab roof directly on top of the end rods and

Walls we’re going to place bottom half black stone slabs waste block next to it and a top half black stone slab get rid of the waste block fill in the nine squares of the roof now the top of the roof is spawnable you can spawn proof it with black carpet

Which is what i’ve chosen to do or you could use polished black stone pressure plates it’s up to you inside of the cab red nether bricks in this top part of the gap leave a gap of one put another one fill this one with whatever you want then

One two three red nether brick and three more there fill this middle bit with whatever you want make sure there is a red nether brick block at the end now in that gap a blast furnace above it an item frame and a compass inside it for a pressure gauge

A lever on the left and two on the right and flick one of them down now at the floor you could use red nether brick slabs that’s what i’ve allowed for in the supply list or you could go for polished blackstone slabs now next to those three top half polished black stone slabs

Directly above the coupling and now to finish off the engine come to a side of the cab and in this middle block a dark oak sign go down one row and type 5972 if you’re in java you can use yellow die on that to color it do the same on the other side

And at the front directly above this lever place a third that’s our engine done it’s not going anywhere without coal so the next thing we need to build is a tender so come back to your track and on the track directly after the coupling place a waste block on top of that place

Your grey terracotta get rid of the waste block and then two three so you end up with a bar now behind that bar we’re going to go out 11 grey terracotta 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight nine ten eleven and at the end one two

Three now this end we’re going to make buffers like we did at the front so a piston either end at its side levers and flick them down to open them and then in between we’re going to put a grindstone for a coupling now at this end we’re going to put a

Bottom half polished blackstone slab that’s a step up for the cabin crew now wheels red near the brick stairs face towards the front of the tender leave a gap of one and place a right way up nether brick stair and upside down one underneath it come around the other side and two more

Nether brick stairs there’s our wheel leave a gap of one and make a second wheel another gap of one and make a third and another gap of one should mean that the fourth goes right up against our buffer now place a dark oak slab top half between each of the wheels

And hoppers with the funnels going into the top stairs again on each of the wheels repeat all this on the other side that’s the undercarriage done now come to the front and above this polished black stone slab place one two three red nether brick blocks and a redneck stair on top

So it looks like that now run red nether brick all the way along to the end including over the piston and build that up to a height of four repeat this wall on the other side and now you can spawn proof the top either with bottom half

Red nether brick slabs or with carpet if you want a cheaper option come down to the end you want red nether brick all the way along and then up to a height of four on these two and one more there so that you’ve got a gap for a door here

And again spawn proof the top either with slabs or with carpet come round to the front now you have a choice you can put three red nether brick here or if you prefer polish blackstone now this would you stop that now at this point you have to decide

What the floor of your corridor is going to be the supply list is allowed for red nether brick but you could just as easily make it polish blackstone whatever you choose do the same along the other side now fill in this gap with whatever you

Like it could be dirt it could be coal it could be red nether brick it could be polished black stone it doesn’t matter no one’s going to see it now coming back to the front on the platform side leave a gap of one block and place a red nether brick place

Another one on top and one next to it so you end up with this shape now on top of that red nether brick stairs and one next to it and now place a dark oak door so that the hinge is on the non-platform side and it opens inward now again you’ve got

A choice block of coal there or if you want something that looks like loose coal you could put black stone and now we build up the walls of the corridor in the tender you can do this with red nether brick with polished black stone with whatever you want i

Have allowed in the supplies for you to build it up with coal build the wall up to a height of two and now we’re going to make the roof of the corridor with polished black stone slabs bottom half so take it all the way along and fill in your tender with coal

Now why have i got an lner corridor tender because in book one of harry potter harry potter and the philosopher’s stone hermione granger says she has been up to speak to the driver at that point she can’t operate the only way she could do it is by walking

And the only company that had corridor tenders was elenia right there’s our colon now you can spawn proof it by either putting down some black stone slabs to look like loose coal or you can use carpet or you can use a mix alright come around to the back of your

Carriage and place a birch trap door with the hinges on the non-platform side place three spruce trap doors along the bottom and surround the rest of the door with dark oak trap doors fold them up and down this will make a pullman connection now alternately you can get rid of the

Middle spruce strap door and replace it with a spruce slab don’t forget to spawn proof the corridor of your corridor tender you could use red carpet gray carpet black carpet you could drop the floor by a half slab i’ve allowed for red carpet in the supply list

We’re almost finished come to the middle of your tender that’s directly above this gap between the sets of wheels come up one two three and on the third place the banner with the rondelle place the fest banners either side repeat that over the other side and there we have it one hogwarts

Express with corridor tender now i’m aware this tutorial is long but bear with me i’m going to have a very quick word about what carriages to add to your engine what carriages you add to your hogwarts express train depends on whether you’re making a train from the films or the books

Now i have designed these engines and the carriages to be scaled to a normal minecraft player so you can get in any of these trains and walk right the length and not feel dwarfed or cramped there are tutorials for all these carriages there’s a link in the description below to each of them

And a link at the end of this video to a full playlist so for films one to five you’ll need to attach to your engine three corridor compartment carriages and one composite corridor compartment brake van if you’re more interested in the train from film number six two corridor compartment carriages one

Vestibule carriage another corridor compartment carriage and a combined corridor compartment brake van that’s the films for the books it’s not specified in the books how many carriages there are it just says there’s multiple we know that harry and hermione and ron preferred the end carriages in the early books

So i had to do a little bit of homework now all students have to go to hogwarts by hogwarts express which makes me wonder what happens to the kids who live in hogsmeade that’s a long trip there are a thousand students in a year at hogwarts

To fit them all in you would need 17 corridor compartment carriages they don’t even render all in and right at the end i have a luggage brake van although you could easily substitute a composite corridor compartment brake van that’s for worst case scenario no magic of course we have magic involved you

Could in theory have one carriage although we know from the books there are multiple this train is a compromised train between magic with hardly any carriages which i think sort of explains these and what you’d need in real life so this has got 12 carriages which is what the flying scotsman would

Pull i’ve chosen the flying scotsman because kings cross was an lner station and the flying scotsman was the lner train i think this is a gw r engine because that was what was available for filming that the producer at the time liked the look of so this train has got 11

Corridor compartment carriages and right at the end a combined luggage brake van which you could easily substitute for a combined corridor compartment brake van these have a slightly different pallet to my tutorial series it is exactly the same builds except instead of using pullman colours i’ve got a little tiny texture pack

Where i have changed an acacia trap door to the solid scarlet and i’ve got smooth stone for the roof instead of smooth sandstone if you’d like the little add-on texture pack let me know in the comments and i’ll work out how you could pick that up but there we are

Hogwarts express complete with carriages i’d love to know what you do with this i do have a discord i’ll set up a channel where you could post your pictures of your hogwarts express there should be an end card on the screen now linking you to the full

Playlist series for all my carriages and my engines bye
