A Fun Little Animation of the Christmas Train

[seejay]

I animated the digital model of the Christmas Train I built to go around the tree this year. 

Instructions are available on Rebrickable (with a video showing the real bricks in action).

Wow great video, the falling snow is the icing on the cake. 

I would like to be able to do a similar animation...

Thanks! That's the second animation project I've done, learning Blender from scratch. The other one is on LEGO Ideas. 

The learning curve in Blender is tough, I have to say, but there are many tutorials available.

Oooh! I love the Empire Builder going around the Christmas tree!
