Fun things to look for at miniature trains near Germany?

[mickeymom629]

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?

My daughter (who is now 16) and I make up soap opera-like stories about what we observe in the town. People have fallen over and there's another couple nearby? Clearly something nefarious has happened, perhaps a jilted lover taking their revenge?...and we go on and on. It's entertaining for us

Hmmm, she's still trying to figure out what she wants to do after high school. Might be time to reach out to AJ and company!
