Disneyland's Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland in G Scale

Tribute to Disneyland's Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland in G scale garden railroad. It was one of my favorite attractions as a kid and I made this for my grandkids.

Wow! What a fantastic recreation of a beloved and greatly missed ride. I was lucky to ridden Natures Wonderland a few times before htey replaced it with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It was great to hear the original Narration by Dallas McKennon.

[@Tortidis987]

This is incredible! I'm amazed by your painstaking recreation of everything, especially the rainbow caverns. I feel like this would be my favorite ride at the park if it was still around, so it's awesome to see a model of it made with so much love

[@davidhatch2862]

Love how you recreated the Rainbow Caverns complete with music.

[@solarbrother8886]

Absolute Awesomesauce! Incredible before the cavern then 🧠💥! Wow!

[@Maxbuffmelvin]

I love this. I had never experienced this attraction since it closed before my birth. Still, I am fascinated by this attraction after seeing KZbin videos and artwork and listening to Dal McKennon's narration.

[@jamesziegler997]

Wow…just…wow. I must have ridden that a dozen times when I was a kid. Brought back so many memories. Your re-creation is beautiful-and accurate. Thank you for that.

[@michaelwaters5168]

Fabulous! You did great job recreating the attraction. As I watched, I thought, "He couldn't have possibly recreated the Rainbow Caverns". Oh how I was wrong; love the attention to detail. As a kid that was able to frequent Disneyland, this was one of my favorite attractions. I was disheartened when the original attraction was replaced with Big Thunder but happy to see that some of the element of the train were retained.

[@darrylgordon6360]

Some guy recreated this train in full size. See random land KZbin channel.

Did the rainbow caverns look like that?

[@fallspeed]

@@sealy1 Yes, basically. There is no color film footage of it, unfortunately.

[@fallspeed]

This was reportedly Walt's favorite ride, but the tunnels were deteriorating because of the trees they'd planted on top (their roots were growing through and causing leaks when it rained). They faced spending millions to repair it, but fewer people were riding it every year, so the bean-counters said no.

[@karinalagarche6480]

Well done! super nice ............

[@darrylgordon6360]

The work inside the tunnel is amazing and shows a love to detail.

[@joxer96]

Wow! Beautiful job! I only got to experience the attraction once, thanks for letting me relive it.

This is really cool, very well done. I like the way you used the actual sound track. That was one of my favorite rides. I wish it were never removed.

Holy cow! Incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail! Wonder how long it took to construct. Salute to you, friend!

[@fallspeed]

Beautiful! One of my favorite rides as a kid.

[@kkeegan32]

Beautiful childhood memories ❤️ thank you 😊

[@WasatchWind]

What a cool model! I really love Thunder Mesa Studio's adaptations of this classic ride, but this being outside and larger brings its own charm.

[@jhanik1]

It brought back so many memories... some which I had totally forgotten! Wonderful job. And, so true to the actual attraction!

[@av8r_owen469]

This is amazing!

[@jakehess27]

Unbelievable craftsmanship!

[@warchild4069]

Sad this isn’t blowing up like it should be. Sending you so so so much respect. More of a USO guy now but Disneyland is my home park and my moM use to tell me about this ride

[@hiridavidfeign]

WOW! Just amazing! Beautifully detailed. The closest any one of us will get to riding the actual thing. The landscaping is gorgeous. This really brightened my day. Thanks so much!

[@jeffreyholmes4287]

This is such a beautiful layout 😮. Thanks for the fun journey and inspiration.

[@anarchorepublican5954]

[@danielboone3770]

Incredible layout and awesome model train! I love it😍😍😍🤩🤩

[@tdub52]

This was amazing. You did an incredible job. Thanks for sharing.

[@user-jb8vz4oh6u]

Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. The interior rainbow cavern you repeated was very impressive. Where did you find the G scale engine and cars. This is on the level with the On3 version at Walt's barn in Griffith Park. Great job.

[@beroth1]

Wait a minute... no smoking, but you're using a steam engine on your train? Hah. Jokes aside, very imaginative and beautiful layout!

[@darrylgordon6360]

Some guy made an N scale and is now at Disney's barn at Griffith park.

[@sheegogarchitect2546]

I love what you have created! I am also a G scale modeler and am in the process of designing a Rainbow Cavern exhibit. Is there a way that I could contact you or maybe even come to visit? I am willing to travel.
