In the tweet HTF does say they're facing IOA, so no way does the engine being visible at IOA but not at 9 & 3/4 make sense. You guys are right about it being the opposite, I think he just misspoke.
He even says you only see the engine while exiting 'IOA', which is only logical if he meant exiting Hogsmeade, not IOA. Therefore, the engine must NOT be visible at the Hogsmeade station, but visible within the London platform. Maybe he was just tired or something.

I think you're right... Unless the train does not remain stationary between unloading and reloading. I'm just spitballing here.

Check this out. My initial list is on page one but my updated is on page 4. There will be changes made in 2014 and 2015 :look:

I like your list! I'm going to do mine tomorrow. It's funny I've never noticed that thread. And you got me all geeked out with the changes comment! I got goosebumps! Gringotts?! Hogwarts Express?! King Kong?! Amber Mine?! :drool:

Engine will be visible when exiting Hogsmeade Station. I'm still not convinced people waiting on the platform will not see the engine pulling in, it all depends on how OPs runs the queues. On the Kings Cross platform you will see the engine at all times. And yes, the engines face towards IOA. :thumbs:

1) please keep posting art Bad Lactose
2) I really need an explanation on the HE engines because HTF and Teebin's posts about it are giving my brain fits. A PM would be nice :look: :wave:

Basically, 2 visible engines in Hogsmeade and no visible engine on Platform 9 3/4? Or just the one and the two others don't exist?

Give me some time and I'll get this cleared up for everyone the best I can. I'm on baby duty coming off a graveyard shift so its gonna be later this evening before I can take care of this.

Yeah, I have been back and forth on whether or not they will care whether or not one sees the engine coming and going. Obviously the current engine in Hogsmeade cannot go forward, so it is already implied that it must back up and switch tracks. All of these things appear so well thought out by the groups involved that it makes me sick.

Two engines just came through the security gate. They were both under plastic, but it was obvious by the shape what they were.

 

[Skubersky]

Yup, the locomotives just rolled through Gate 3. Sorry, no photos ;-)

 

[Skubersky]

Did anyone get a photo of the prototype London R&S costumes they were temperature testing today in Hogsmeade? I got here a little too late, but I hear they resemble the conductor costumes...

 

[Teebin]

^ R&S ? Escapes me...

 

[Quint]

^Ride & Show

 

[Cupcakes]

For some reason, whenever I see "R&S", it makes me think of Ren and Stimpy... :look:

 

[Rwberger]

Wrapped presents on display over on the "magic" forums.

 

[Spideyfreak]

^Had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw them...

 

[Teebin]

^ Well they are just the train engines. What did you expect? Show me something I don't expect and I will pick my jaw up off the floor. The cabins told us much more news, although few here reacted to it.

I just followed him. Is it in his pics? because all I see is them covered up?

I must have misunderstood. Because people were talking like they saw what it looked like under it.
