The exhibition is built on a base composed of almost a million points of the LEGO bricks on which buildings, railroad tracks, trees, minifigures and ambient landscapes will be supported. Only on railroad tracks, the construction has more than 2,500 sections of track to form almost 400 meters of circuit where the automatically controlled trains will circulate simultaneously through an electronic traffic light system devised by one of the partners. Among all the trains, more than 1,500 kilometers will be traveled during the weekend. The exhibition presents spanish historical trains Y Portuguese, from steam mining locomotives from the mid-nineteenth century to the modern AVE.

ALE! It was formed in 2009 at the Príncipe Pío station where LEGO fans from Madrid and other parts of Spain met periodically, becoming in December 2010 as a non-profit Cultural Association. Although the members had been organizing amateur meetings since 2008, the first of these characteristics organized by the Association was the first edition of MadBrick in May 2010, held in Cosmocaixa and which has been consolidated as an annual event that has already held five editions In Peques and Más we visited it in 2012.
We will not miss the TRENBrick appointment organized by ALE! at Madrid Railway Museum and it will be a pleasure to greet the volunteers of the association in addition to enjoying the surprise faces of the kids with so much display of LEGO bricks and so many constructions recreating Madrid.
