  "summary": "On a plain cream ground, the four colour layers of a London–Edinburgh map in the LMS 1925 look (water, land, the black names and coastline, then the red route) slide in out of register and lock into place one after another, each with a small jolt. The red route hangs out over the North Sea in near silence before it locks onto the tracks at 9 s. The four layers fan apart once and lock together again, then 'Draw a train trip, free / trainmap.app' appears.",

A quiet print-room tone, foley for every move (whooshes, a latch click over a soft thud at each lock) and music at 100 BPM in D that adds one layer per colour (pad, bass, mallet ticks). The music cuts at 7.8 s into near silence, a ratchet J-cut comes in from 8.58 s, and everything returns with a bell at the 9.0 s lock. Normalised to −14 LUFS.",
