Watch how we built a wooden replica of this epic steam locomotive----

Each Christmas Full Sail University puts on a holiday event for all of the staff and their children called Santaland. In 2012 our theme was inspired by The Polar Express. I work in the art department of the film program and I challenged my crew to build the Polar Express steam engine as the main attraction for the event. This is the process and plans for building the locomotive. It took 10 people 10 days to build and another 2 days to load in and set up. The train was 11 feet tall, and over 26 feet long, yet it fit through an ordinary doorway. Watch the magic as my crew helps me realize one of the most epic Santalands ever.
