Yes, all I've got is a warehouse door way back in the corner that says "Mom's Robot Oil."
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Okay, now you guys are really pulling out some heavy artillery here.
I moved to the Minnesota Canadian border wilderness when I was a kid, 12 years old.
I seen things up there that you would not believe, many times in the sky in formation and changing formation from a consistent pattern and then slipping across the sky so fast it was unbelievable.
It made the four of us on the cliff that night watch in wonder. One of the people in our group tried to explain it with some kind of BS. The other three including me did not have time for that, we knew what we had seen.
One time close up across the Waters of Lake Kabetogama behind an Island.
It was so close up I saw the detail. It rose up above the island went down and back up. I could hear the water and the sound of the electronic humming of the craft. It went up and down and the sound of the water taken in.
I'll never forget it, it turned slightly and I almost felt it turned because they were looking at me for a brief moment. It moved slowly across Lake behind Cutover Island and became a little harder to see but I watched it before it slipped down towards Namakan Lake.
Anyone that believes we are the only ones that are among the living in the vastness of space is, well...... I don't know how to put it...... very ignorant and naive.
The closest railroad to that area was the DWP Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific also known as the Peg.

I'm a fan of the 1950s movie "Forbidden Planet".
My layout has names taken from the movie. The train station signs for the town are "Altair", the gas station is "Robbie's Stop and Rob", and several others.

SCI-FI trains and layouts are fun to look at, but I would never build one.
BUT! If I did, it would be "steam punk".

I've always been a sci fi fan from childhood, but never had the urge to mix it with trains. Sorta like some foods don't go together.

I really like Sci-Fi trains. It wasn't operable, but I made a Sci-Fi Train in aproximately O scale (28mm wargaming scale) that I used for convention games.
You can see more detailed pics of the train here:

There was a fellow there who had setup a Necromunda (a Sci-Fi Underground Post-Apoc game) table with a small train pulled by a Beep that was fully operable.

I'm a Dr Who fan, at least until it went ultra socially correct, but I've never participated in any of the fantasy threads here. However this video brought a smile to my face.
My mother claims to have seen a UFO, so maybe this isn't prototypical
