Harry Potter Gringotts Cart

The track was made using flex pvc and furring strips.

The shape for the wheels were traced and cut out on purple insulation board using a electric foam cutter and then painted before they were added to the body. There are 4 large wheels and 4 small wheels. The body of the cart is a combination of 2x4's and insulation foam. To add to the shape, we added a spare roll of cardboard that we had and duck taped around it. Everything is screwed together using wood deck screws and reinforced with Gorilla heavy duty construction adhesive.

The exterior wall where it appears that the cart has crashed out of was built using two 4x8 pieces of purple insulation foam joined together using 3 simple hinges, one on top, one in the middle, and one at the bottom. This allows for easier movement and storage. The foam was given an aged stone look using a router and then painted. Finally, we measured and cut a jagged hole where we set up a faux fire appearance.
