So what you're going to see is the Transporter Room. And this is where they would beam in and out for their missions on the show

They would stand here and they'd film a plate. The actors would then step off
0:38
They'd put the special effect in later, and that's how it would make the actor appear to disappear

This is a forced perspective creation. It's only about 12 feet long

wall sometimes. There'd be tables or there'd be people in here playing games. This is the room

in Ticonderoga, New York? Its owner, James Colley, grew up here as a Star Trek fan running around
2:16
his Star Trek shirts as a kid. And it became a lifelong hobby, building set pieces
2:21
And eventually he brought it here, and we finished constructed the entire set

Star Trek fans from all over the world come to the set to relive their childhood
