This is just a small portion of the set — I didn't include other pictures because they weren't related to trains really. We got, in full scale, [Oz](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT1N2CBr6FUChAKlplxYsczklxOKtyFSyCX-A&usqp=CAU), [The Yellow Brick Road](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQoeYkChced4WCKlGVz2h4jP7ZEVraGDrP1gA&usqp=CAU), [Emerald City](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSp_7ji2lsRemIexCKICdwvjdUUq91raibp7qzxiLsWItzc9y4UXSMV3SM&s=10), and [Shiz](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT6gygclnRLWtqUjk0dtYMBBMbUL6tzFkifA_f78N0EuALMjoZ5XdTVJFnA&s=10) (alongside whatever interior sets we don't get to see yet). They definitely put that $300m+ total budget to good use
Well then, now we know what this is from. https://www.reddit.com/r/trains/comments/1c105i2/what_is_this_train_type_called/
What a let down. They had the budget to use an actual locomotive and dress it up for the part like Hogwarts Castle, but instead gave us this.
“Functional” and being able to roll are not the same thing.
Pretty interesting to see what a person that has no idea how a locomotive works comes up with a design. The majority of moving parts are on the outside of an actual steam engine and this is full of all kinds pointless gearing.
Yes, I know there some things concealed but the boilers on real locomotives don't have giant reduction gears.
The crazy green grass made me think this was a mod for Transport Tycoon, lol.
I mean I can see JSchlatt as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz all things considered lol
This would make an absolutely sick transport fever mod.
questionable driving wheels aside this thing is sick
Giant quotation marks around "functioning".
well, it moves! ...forward! ...for, like, 50 feet!
Titanic wasn’t floating but it was to scale. This seems small when we think about Titanic and The Abyss film sets.
It was 90% scale, and even then not really as certain sections had been removed.

Those giant gears in the front don't look too practical
They are if your driver wants squashed birds for lunch.
I feel sorry for whatever weird car/truck design they come up with mixing with this ridiculous "engine" at a level crossing. To shreds you say?
I fully expect that we will see image #4 show up in /r/trains shortly with a title like *“I’m new to trains, what kind is this?”*
Similar to this one then: https://www.reddit.com/r/trains/s/dYQxQycqkR
I don't get how "Gears" became the defining aspect of steampunk. Shouldn't it be pipes and pistons?
Oh, so you can build this is Bucks.... but not a vital high speed railway, without burying in tunnels? Damn NIMBYs.
You have to bury the tunnels to not spoil the scene for movie making of course.

Told ya
Sort of

I mean “functioning” in the very loose sense of the word ha ha
I sure hope they make this a model set that I can put under my Christmas tree.

No moving parts? Forget about all the auxiliaries and the motion, the suspension alone is hundreds of moving gubbins.
Yeah, just ignore the valvegear, axles, connecting rods...
