| History |
- After building many LEGO scenes, I became enamored with the LEGO Disney Train when it came out.
- At the same time, I just got the Disney+ streaming service, and saw its entry screen with all the cool brands they had / had acquired:
- Classic Disney
- Modern Disney
- Pixar
- Marvel
- Star Wars
- Fox
- I thought it would be cool to create a train scene focused on the Disney Train with custom cars for each of Disney’s sub-brands.
- And I thought it would be even cooler if it could traverse the walls of my oddly shaped (because the walk-in closet has one angled closet wall and is carved out of the square 12x12 room) Robot Room which also houses my drones and LEGO.
- I then thought it would be even cooler to create other alternate trains that could sit in a virtual train yard (shelves on a wall) until they are switched out onto the track once in a while:
- A high-speed train
- A Subway train
- A Harry Potter train
- A multi-theme train pulled by a LEGO Cargo Engine Car with themed custom train cars (some totally custom -and- others with major mods): Star Wars, Jurassic World, etc.
