A Lego fan has created his own scenic railway route by laying down an impressive track formation.

The man spent hours creating the extensive layout, which snakes around his house and travels through a specialised route along bridges and under fences in his garden,.

But so that friends and fellow Lego lovers were not left out of the fun, he filmed an engine's journey by attaching a Go Pro camera to one of his model trains.
His intricate formation travels underneath furniture and flows around corners in his house before zooming through engineered valleys and dirt mounds that have been constructed in his garden.

Far from just a simple single circuit, his layout consists of a mesh of junctions, a station and sharp corners with other model trains zooming around.

The track clearly took extensive planning and is an impressive feat of engineering, even for those who do not share a similar passion for model making.
While the usual iconography of the railway features at different points along the track, it also speeds past two slightly unusual sights - an inquisitive looking cat and an entirely unimpressed dog.
The video showcases the skills of a talented model maker, the brains behind the layout is someway off from breaking the world record for the longest Lego track created.

The benchmark was set by 80 Lego enthusiasts who gathered in Denmark in 2013 and set out a track of 4,000 metres, using 100,000 element bricks and rails together.
