This came across my desk courtesy of the YT algorithm: Let's Torekatsu. Let's train life? I'll leave a coherent translation to someone else. Seems to lean toward prototypes, but at time of the writing, two of the ten episodes in the playlist below are about models. The first episode below is about the JR East and Tobu service to Nikko. The 485 series as shown on left of the thumbnail crosses over to Tobu track at Kurahashi, on the absolute edge of Kuki City, Saitama Prefecture.

Once again, for forum members in Japan, Fuji TV's variety info program Real Scope Hyper will have a one hour special about trains "behind the scenes", this time the limited express trains of the private railways, including Odakyu. Fuji TV Saturday May 10, 7pm~

Another one tonight, topic is shinkansen. This special is only one hour. Fuji TV 19:00~19.57.

Once again, a two hour quiz/information show will air this evening (Saturday) on Fuji TV from 7pm. The subject will be shinkansen and subways. There should be a few good segments in it, if past episodes are considered- "behind the scenes" maintenance of E6 shinkansen trainsets, delivery of new Tokyo Metro rolling stock, etc. preview clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms7-iUsoolk&list=PLh4aJSJaObrZ0eMg4lpw_rgfvyInTHPKA *I viewed an interview with the producer of this program, and he mentioned a segment about the 20 year interval comprehensive inspection/maintenance of subway tunnels, which should be interesting and likely never been broadcast before.
