The Macropolitan Line is a model version of an underground train network, of the style and city of your choice.
It arrives complete with replica trains and lengths of tubing which contain the tracks. The tubes can be bent and curved to create a layout, with some sections containing stops, featuring detailed platforms thronging with model figures.
Tiny video cameras allow you to gain continuous images of your Macropolitan Train hurtling around the network. You can switch between driver's tunnel view, platform monitoring, or in carriage action.
The best place to install your Macropolitan line is under a floor, where it can snake between the various joists and beams. Burying it in the garden is another alternative.

I have seen large train installations that included subway sections, though that was before miniature videocams were eay to come by.-- DrCurry, Apr 30 2007 Unfortunately, the line // no-one need ever know about your secret and fascinating hobby // pre-empts an idea we wanted to post for a "model underground railway", the core of which was that it consisted just of a cityscape surface model and at no point were any if the trains ever visible.
