City on Caterpillar Tracks

This has nothing to do with astronomy or Universe Sandbox, but as a LEGO fan, I’m incredibly inspired by this creation:

Which seems to be directly inspired by fictional Traction Cities from Philip Reeve’s Mortal Engines Quartet series of books:

I think the idea of massive, movable cities is fascinating to think about.

    Awesome. I have a feeling this might happen in the real world sometime in the future.
