A fantasy-themed modular layout sounds like the perfect way to push creative boundaries and have some serious fun. The idea of connecting wildly different scenes through a shared track system is brilliant—it’s like building a storybook railway where every chapter is a surprise.
I think I’d go with a mist-covered cliffside temple, with a winding track that crosses rope bridges and disappears into a glowing cave. Maybe throw in a few tiny monks and a glowing waterfall for good measure!
Love the idea of stitching it all together digitally too—it’d make for an incredible virtual showcase.
What’s everyone else dreaming up? Floating rail lines? Post-apocalyptic scrapyards? Giant mushrooms and steam-powered airships?
What if we each designed a layout module based on a dream or fantasy location—something that wouldn’t usually exist on a real railway?
Think floating track over water, a mountain pass through ruins, a neon-lit future city, or even a hidden jungle outpost. There’s no wrong answer, just imagination.
We’d agree on a few simple connection rules (track height, ends, etc.), but the rest is a creative free-for-all. Once everyone’s done, we can digitally stitch them together into one wild, fantastical railway journey.
Anyone up for a little magic-meets-model-railroading? What dream scene would you build?
