Sears Tower (though I suppose it's the Willis Tower now...)
This exhibit was by far the largest – and the most interesting – at the show. It had some great custom-built Lego train cars, courtesy of the Northern Illinois Lego Train Club (NILTC). I was unable to photograph the entire exhibit, as it was too crowded to get some of the better pictures. There were some really cool dioramas, such as a Toy Story and a Pirates-themed diorama, and so much more. There were so many things going
If you look at the Gas sign you will see something, interesting...
I'm craving a Brick Burger right about now.
on at this exhibit. It was just bursting with movie references, including Batman, Night of the Living Dead, the Dollar trilogy; the list goes on. Of course, as with the previous exhibit, the dioramas were not what people wanted to see. They wanted to see the NILTC’s creativity with their trains. Some were original Lego sets that were slightly modified. Some were custom, but based on existing trains in real life. One such train was the Metra train replica. Others were totally original in their designs, and I’ve got to say that some of them were really cool. Speaking of cool, how could I forget the 10-foot high model of the Sears Tower (though I suppose it’s the Willis Tower now…) with working lights? It was the first thing I saw when I walked in. The one that I didn’t notice at the exhibit the first time round, was a “Back to the Future” train from part 3, and the Delorean makes an appearance. There was so much at this exhibit that I can’t fit into one post, look at the pictures below and see for yourself.
