The Morning Star

In my book, there are 12 floating islands surrounding a giant castle on a larger center one. The Morning Star loops the surrounding islands, taking passengers around and around at speeds up to 400mph!

Due to variating weather conditions and other atmospheric changes that happened to floating islands, The Morning Star operates in a rather bizarre fashion, especially for a Maglev train. Her main source of power is actually steam! Small "Scoops" outlining the wheels take in clouds and other forms of moisture as the train passes through them, and phantograph poles can be extended diagonally to attract and gather electrical storm's energy, using it to charge the emergency battery in case the steam engine is not generating enough power for the maglev system.

I included all the details I could, including but not limited to: functioning steam piston, cab controls, coach interior, visible "Scoops" outside wheel trucks, opening coach doors, streamlined smoke-stack, random vents, and a plane-like tail end to keep her on the rails. The coaches are hinged in a special way, using pins instead of couplers, making for a seamless appearance, guaranteed connection, and a tighter turn capacity.

Set includes: 1x rear unit, 1x front unit, 3x coaches, a full circle of awesome Maglev modified track, and I might add people eventually if ya'all like it. Oh? And did I mention it has power functions? Yeah, this baby's got a Lego train motor in each wheel truck, totaling to 6x motors! She'll haul brick faster than anything ya got!

I made this set based on a train from the book I'm writing, just for fun. I figured it couldn't hurt ta share it either. I think the imagination I'm showing here is kinda the original spirit of Lego, making this an awesome Lego set! But hey, that's just me. I'm kinda hoping Lego will make her crome gold like my model, or at least have as many motors so she can be really fast. Either way, it's just fun ta show!

Feel free ta tell me what ya think in the comments!
