I don't see an appropriate forum to put this in. So, please forgive me and tell me where it should go.

My mother and I have a strong love for both trains and classical music. In fact, we have been faithful listeners to WRCJ 90.9 FM Detroit, a radio station plays classical music everyday and jazz music (my bigger interest in music) by night. So, this is a winning combo!

it's fun in the beginning then just gets annoying!
More amazing than the train (which does get annoying after a while...LOL) is the camera work in following the train's movement. I couldn't figure out how it's done especially when the camera has to pass over benchwork to change sides.
I was more amazed at the camera work as well, but I'm sure they have a servo controlled overhead camera suspended to follow the train. After all, the guys at Miniatur Wunderland have mountains of money to do cool stuff. 
The tune was cool for the first couple hundred glasses, then it was getting a bit old. 
There was also a bit of a how-we-did-it video. I don't know whether this part was just on a test run, or the real thing - but people on opposite sides of the track handed the phone/camera off to one another. As long as the video kept going....
