Here is my Post-Refurb Full Video Overview of the Germany Miniature Train in 4K. Enjoy! (It's almost 5 minutes long). I really tried to cover every inch of it as much as possible.

Awesome. looks great! Question. At some point didn't an Agent P's World Showcase Adventure get added to the train area? Am I remembering correctly? Is that removed?

That's a great question. I'm not sure. If it was, I didn't see where it was added. Maybe someone else can answer this?

Very nice video, happy to be able to watch in 4K! The beighe and red engine is a Piko TEE, and should be atleast a 3 car set....... I wish that they would atleast have kept them together...

Was there this past weekend, October 10-13. Although three of the four tracks were working on Saturday, all trains stopped a little after 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. They were not working when I went back on Monday afternoon either (they were all in the same position as when I saw them stop the day before).

It happens..... If the power supply's overload, you gotta fix them.

One of the best thing about these pics, outside of your happy son and the functioning railroad is that for once this year it's a pic where it's not raining. I know it's just the perception I've gotten, but I swear nearly 9 out of every 10 pics from WDW this summer has been filled with wet ground and dripping ponchos.

I'm glad that watching the video calms you too!Just watching that video lowered my blood pressure 10 points.
But yeah, can we add some cars please? Looks silly not pulling anything. First world problem, I know.
I agree about the train cars. Are they afraid that adding more cars will increase the chances of the train derailing, or are they afraid of cars becoming uncoupled? Did the train engines pull cars in the past? I can't remember.

Yep, they used to pull a few cars.

It is a rack or cog engine, meaning it can be used with a rack, attached to the track, to ascend high grades. The motors are hard to come by, so if it broke, it unfortunately probably got scrapped.

Kind of disappointed that theres only like one car and stuff.. Still looks really nice though c:
