Bar serves drinks on toy train set

A Czech bar has replaced waiters and waitresses - with a model railway.

The Vytopna Restaurant in Prague has installed a huge £500,000 model railway.

It delivers drinks from the bar to customer's tables and has proved popular with punters.

The 1,300ft rail system features tiny tunnels, towns and forests.

A few years ago I was in a sushi bar in Brisbane, Australia, where the little sushi dishes circulated on a model railway. It was rather simpler than this one, juts a loop of track in O Gauge (or possibly Gauge 1) with a long rake of flat wagons being hauled very slowly by a diesel loco.

There is something similar in Braunschweig (Germany): The restaurant "Kegelbahnhof". See the pics on my website:
