I don't have a video, but it is essentially the same as any can motored icing station.
These work pretty smoothly. You may have to adjust the door on the car itself a bit to get free motion(if I recall it's a u-shaped metal bar that lets the door pivot open and back closed). The paddle on the station pushes the door on the roof open so the packages/ice cubes can be deposited.
You do need to be cautious of what cars/engines you drive by the station, it's better on a siding.

I have that accessory and had to add some small pieces of styrene sheet plastic to the "broom" and chute to have it run consistent. Without those additions (at least on mine), it would either jam or push crates off center.

Thanks. I was considering adding it to my Christmas layout, but I'll wait until next year when I have time to position it correctly and fine tune the operation. Thanks for answering
