The Mine Train Thru Nature’s Wonderland was before my time and I was always intrigued by the little locomotive that could be seen on the port side of the Mark Twain as you traveled the rivers of America. Thank you of sharing your model I am enjoying the construction videos.
Thanks for your reply! I checked out your blog earlier and just had a chance to watch your other YT clips... I'm very impressed. :) Keep up the good work, I'll be back to check it out! :)
I wish I had your talent for creating these awesome models... you picked my favorites, too, Haunted Mansion and Nature's Wonderland. Will you be creating the Rainbow Caverns, too?
It more of a representation model, than an exact replica; This is a selectively compressed layout, not a true inch-for-inch scale model, because of the large scale of the project squeezed onto a rather small 4' X 7' table. This has elements from the original ride shifted, moved, eliminated, modified, or distorted to fit, but all the major areas of the attraction are represented.
For the train? Track power is temporary at moment since I'm in the middle of construction; I just have my power pack with some alligator clips move around to sections of track where I need it.
@STNautilus So are there any more main areas of the show where you would need to recreate a special effect? Or is it just more desert untill the end of the ride?
wished they did something in Disneyworld natures wonderland or Disneyland again I wasn't around to see this I wasn't even born yet. I like the caverns and the desert part.

Yes, that is part of the Nature's Wonderland complex. I've got a time lapse video of an early version of the model of it.

Is this model going to be an exact replica of the real thing when it's done?

@STNautilus Oh i see you only use it to test a finished scene. How many more scenes do you have left?
999Phineas 2 years ago
I've got more areas than scenes, but I'd say about 5-6 left to go.
