What’s cooler than a five-foot replica of the Death Star made from Legos? Not much, but some of the other things Dan Parker, aka Dan the Lego Man is working on might be just as cool.

Parker returns to the Snoqualmie Depot for Railroad Days, where he will build something spectacular with those little plastic bricks.

Kids can watch as Parker hand-sets bricks for the final details of his creation, then move over to the Lego table to building something of their own in this exhibit, in the freight room at the museum.

Parker’s past Railroad Days creations included a miniature railroad, complete with running trains set up in a little town, and a historic building from the Northwest Railway Museum.

Towns and railroads are a favorite subject for the builder he said, adding that there’s something “mesmerizing” about a moving train.
