Hogwarts Express Steam Train for MSFS - Featuring Custom Animations, Sounds, & Smoke Effects
Trains have arrived in MSFS! Here we have a detailed 3D modeled Hogwarts Express Steam Train featuring custom animations, sounds, and smoke effects. The train travels along a 3 mile stretch of track. It goes over Glenfinnan Viaduct, Scotland which is a POI from World Update 3, then onwards to Glenfinnan Railway Station which has also been handcrafted to a high level of detail. The Glenfinnan Monument which sits at the shore of Loch Shiel has also been handcrafted.
Features:
- Handcrafted 3D Animated Hogwarts Steam Train
- Interior modeling of the Train Engine & Carriages
- Train Sounds
- Steam Effects
- Handcrafted 3D modeled Rail Track
- Scenery of the Glenfinnan Railway Station with Platform Announcements
- Highly detailed handcrafted model of the Glenfinnan Monument which is located next to Loch Shiel.
- PBR Textures
- Detailed Night Lighting
- It comprises of 36 individual animated parts, 6 individual smoke effects, and 8 seperate sound effects
The train travels from a wooded area about 1 mile prior to the Glenfinnan Viaduct, it then proceeds over the viaduct onwards to Glenfinnan Station and beyond, before re-spawning back at the wooded area. The total track length is about 3 miles.
- Please note that the Train is an animation, and therefore is NOT controllable in-sim
- World Update 3 (UK & Ireland) scenery must be installed for the scenery to show correctly.
Along with the already included Glenfinnan Viaduct POI, I have added POI markers at the Glenfinnan Monument, and Glenfinnan Railway Station.
To discover the train simply search for the 'Glenfinnan Viaduct' POI within the World Map in MSFS.

Absolutely awesome! I would love to see frull train animation integration on all the rail lines in the sim! I mean... even XPlane 9 had trains.

This legit looks better then Train Simulator 2021 (which as far as I know hasn't changed since 2012) Dovetail just loves the cash grab by changing the menu and the name every year...

Wow, this is amazing! Is it possible to do something like this for the Western part of the US?

Finally!!! This is one of the things this sim needs to become more alive! I'll buy every single one of these!😀😀😀😀😀 I hope someone creates waterfalls and river animations next... WHITE PASS AND YUKON RAILWAY NEXT, PLEASE!!! All the way from Skagway to Whitehorse😀 Would be great if the train would go the other way as well instead of just spawning back to the start..

A great idea and addition to the sim, adds a bit of magic to a beautiful corner of the world . This idea could really take off, steam specials Settle to Carlisle, North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Pickering to Whitby etc.

Actually it's not the flying scotsman, it looks very much like the Hogwarts Express, what a grumpy comment!

Wow, if only all the rail networks in the sim looked this good. Maybe in another five years or so!

This is a fantastic add-on. I've always wanted trains in MSFS, and this is the best rendition by far. The details are incredible. I'd love to have trains in the sim on a global scale. Perhaps the developer would conisder "track packs" which cover longer distances. I'd be all for this.
Thanks for developing this. What a pleasant surprise for this amazing sim / platform. Highly recommended!

I wonder if at some point Asobo/Microsoft could license the world out to other developers for other transport types. I'm sure there must be train, boat and truck simulators who would love to use a world engine on this scale and maybe they could build their products straight into the sim? It could eventually become a full world vehicle simulator, we can dream...

Wow! That would be incredible. 👍

This is a mind blowing idea! Do you plan on releasing it on the Marketplace as well?

Out of interest, what's the issue with buying it here?
zorstorer 1 month(s) ago
I can only speak for myself on this. But I like to limit my financial exposure to as few web sites as possible, hence I use the marketplace for the majority of my purchases as it goes through a payment process I have already had setup for years. I have used other sites before, but those are limited to a product I can't get on the marketplace. I know the marketplace takes a large cut of the sales, but convenience for me beats a few extra cents the mod devs receive if I bought from all these other sites.
