Walt Disney Imagineering Adds New Details to EPCOT's Germany Train Garden

Walt Disney Imagineering and the Walt Disney World Engineering Services Artist Prep team are adding new magic to the Germany Train Garden at EPCOT.

Disney has shared photos from the miniature village showing new details appearing throughout the scale-model landscape.

A "Please Pardon Our Pixie Dust" sign now sits along the green construction fencing that surrounds part of the Germany Train Garden. Behind the fence, a miniature construction zone tells its own story. Tiny excavators and construction workers sit among stacked crates and barrels, next to model train tracks running past the site.

Beyond the construction zone, several new buildings and landscape features show off the level of detail the Germany Train Garden is known for.

The model railway features multiple G-scale trains, which are among the largest model trains, ranging in size from 1:22.5 to 1:29. You can find the railway along the World Showcase promenade on the far right side of Germany.

The railway display was initially installed as a temporary exhibit for the Flower and Garden Festival but was so popular with guests that it became a permanent addition. Decorations within the railway are updated for each festival throughout the year.
