This awesome. I had thought of doing something similar but instead of lego use a HO scale wheel section from a train car so you could actually sections of HO scale train track for it to roll on. Of course you would to paint the tracks up to fit the theme.

Yes, originally I had planned to use HO scale coal-carts, which are exactly the right size to hold 2 28mm miniatures - but once I got to the train shop I found the details were too fine and not pseudo-medieval enough for what I wanted (also they're rather costly). So once I'd found the right wheels I build this in a much more chunky and rough and ready aesthetic. I've of course got to scratch build my own tracks to fit these now ...
