This is such a creative concept! A lot of our initial ideas were also about using the same activity at two scales, but none were this creative. I love how the incentives are different and possibly contrasting between scales, which creates depth and complexity; while there's a single-directional flow of results from one to the other, which makes it simple to play with. The aesthetics of both scales are great too. Nicely done!

Thank-you so much for breaking down exactly what we were going for, this was a really fantastic comment to receive
We’d have loved to increase the contrast between the goals even more, but you totally nailed it: we wanted all the things you care about in the kid scale (making curved tracks that veer close to obstacles) to be antithetical to the things you care about as an adult (an efficient railway system that gets passengers to destinations as quickly as possible).
So, so glad that landed for you. Thank you for playing, and we very much appreciate your thoughtful analysis!
