finally got a close up of the mock GWR Hall at the new Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios. Pretty convincing until I tapped the cylinders that were fibre glass. A blast of steam (dry ice?) made me jump.
The whole attraction is worth a visit but be early and make it your first stop in the park. Expect 1.5 to 2 hours wait (dont do weekend as thats when the locals go)

Back to the Future III locomotive (also known as the Jules Verne Locomotive and The Time Train was photographed at Universal Studios on 14th July 2010.
The locomotive which is thought to have some original locomotive parts in the frame (identity unknown) is said to be based on a 1897 Roger's 4-6-0 mixed traffic locomotive. Note if anyone wants to see this loco and Hogwarts Castle they are in two different Universal Parks and two entry tickets or a park hopper ticket will be required.
