A miniature rendition of Disneyland Resort and various Disney animated films have been realised through the backyard of an Independent architect as reported by the LA Times. Built over 27 years of manual construction, the private garden is an exhibition of large architectural models, operational model trains, and live special effects. Officially known as Castle Peak and Thunder Railroad, the highly detailed microcosm serves as a tribute to classic animation and regional theme park history. The setting is particularly fitting: Anaheim's identity changed dramatically after Disneyland opened in 1955, which turned the city into a major destination for tourism.
