Cool! I need to attend such a show. Is that a duck train on the small oval in the centre of the second last image?

Yes, that's a new product.

Already on their web site: http://www.tgw.co.jp/train/index.html

The bird train was the top selling model train item on Hobbysearch in late November.

Isn't anyone gonna aknowledge the tofu-on-rice-on-wheels looking thing behind the ducks? 😜

The 'sushiden' range has been around for a while now.

 

TDF display is very impressive. Are those built-up examples of kits or were they actually selling the finished buildings seen on the stand?

 

And the show appears mercifully free of people just selling piles of Tomix and Kato boxes (so meh).

Guess now they are just sticking a motor mechanism into a full sized sushi food model. Thought I saw an announcement on the new ones but can’t find them on hs.
