The recent rash of mine robberies across the country has led Honest Abe and his team of heroes to Big Thunder Mountain. Here they find the Rowdy Doody gang in the process of stealing all the dynamite!

Abe and John Henry attempt to stop Rowdy Doody and Mr. Greenjeans from getting away aboard the mine train filled with the dynamite while Ulysses, Geronimo and Tommy Edison work to rescue a lone hostage, the old prospector "Kangaroo" Gus and his mule Mickey.

The members of the Rowdy Doody Gang find themselves pinned down, so Buffalo Bob tells Cobb to send in his pet, Zeke the black bear. Ulysses wants Geronimo to shoot the bear with his rifle but he refuses. Instead Geronimo attempts to use his mystical shaman powers to commune with the bear and explain that they mean it no harm. Mickey the mule doesn't care for the approach of the bear and begins bucking in an attempt to escape.

Brave Ulysses, always the impulsive one, decides now is the time to make his charge as Tommy Edison covers him with his trusty slingshot.

Can Abe and his team stop the run away train, prevent the dynamite from detonating, round up the Rowdy Doody Gang, rescue "Kangaroo" Gus, calm down poor Mickey the mule, and avoid being mauled by a bear?!

Tune in next time!

It's a bit belated to comment days after I've already faved it, but!

This is a wonderful model. Your previous ones that basically recreate an aspect of the ride in question are excellent, but I adore how you've devised a little story for Big Thunder here. The use of different colors to make rock strata stood out to me first, and then I started to take a close look at all the others details, from the various animals to the cacti and desert succulents to the top-notch dino skeleton. Even the shed looks accurate right down to the uneven roof tiles. It's simultaneously Big Thunder Mountain as we know it, and its own thing.

Bravo!
