According to which biography you read, he also built it to releive stress.

I forgot to mention, if you click the picture it takes you to a 7 part interview with Ward Kimball which he talks about his trains and Walt. It is very cool and you really see an insight into the same things Tony Baxter was talking about in Dave Parfitt's interview concerning being able to look through a child's eyes.

I thought he built it in the back yard because Lilly wouldn't let him put it in the front yard.
