Harry Poter Viaduct Being Restored | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

ScotieOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

The Glenfinnan Viaduct is one of the best known landmarks in Scotland but at 123 years old, it's in need of restoration work. Rope access teams have been working day and night in recent months to strengthen the bridge's concrete arches and trackside areas.

Made famous by the Harry Potter film series, hundreds of visitors gather at the viaduct each day to watch the "Hogwarts Express" train cross its 21 arches. The Jacobite steam hauled train operates on this line.

Awesome! It was the Hogwarts Express set by Lionel that sent me down a slippery slope to O gauge modeling.

Glad to see they are. It's a nice ride, went over it in 2018. Here is a photo of it I took in 2008.
