I did see the exhibition several years ago when it was in Manhattan. I enjoyed it, but it was not yet complete and ran into financial difficulties with a large rental cost for its location. My guess is that is was very expensive to continue running, and needed a less expensive venue.
I am glad to see it get a second chance.
The continents were each built independently overseas. Each one has a simple HO scale looping railroad with an appropriate paint job going around it. As far as I know, the continents are not connected by rail behind the scenes.
One thing bothered me when I visited. A few of the "international" railways had either a Rio Grande or Canadian National boxcar on them. I finally made contact with the "train guy" who explained that they were Walthers track cleaning cars, but hadn't been re-badged yet. He then gave me a personal tour, which we both enjoyed immensely.
They had a large 3D printing operation for their own models. I believe they did all their own aircraft.
