Fun things to look for at miniature trains near Germany?

Has anyone looked at the miniature trains lately and can tell me fun/interesting things to look for? My 6-year-old grandson has only wanted to watch these little trains when we've gone to Epcot in 2021 and 2023. His parents are not looking forward to him still wanting to do this when we go back in December, since he could do this endlessly, lol.

I know there are fun things to find and "back stories". If there's a favorite of yours or something you have recently observed, could you share?
Thanks!

The Disney Food Blog has a running saga of what is happening in the train town, when they get new decorations and what seems to be happening between the residents

Slight side story ~ one day we were looking at the trains (I love miniatures) and an "engineer" came out and started picking up the train cars and taking them away. We asked him why he was doing that and he said they always do when storms are coming in. They don't leave the trains out in rain storms. Who knew?
