The train set almost looks as if it an integral part of the Eiffel Tower! The is something uniquely mystical about the French penchant for public decoration. Unlike those unadorned, strictly functional stuctures usually built elsewhere, the unnecesssary art nouveau style ornamentation on the rail bridge is indeed a delight to behold.
