Principle
Customers are served by model trains that deliver beverages to them.[3] Trains (locomotive plus open wagon or wagons) arrive bearing customers' orders, and customers unload their own drinks, and reload the used glasses. Trains are dispatched to the tables by staff. Individual trains are digitally controlled and they make realistic sounds of genuine trains.
