This is a promo for the upcoming through service on the Tokyu Toyoko Line via the new underground Shibuya Station.

That's a clever commercial. The way the music trailed off after the first stop, almost despondently...very well done.

 

And yeah, the scale (in relation to the length of the trains, not modeling scale) was a bit small, and all those single-tracks with stub ends wouldn't make for interesting operation, but I want it anyway.

That's an approximation of the Tokyo Metro network in N scale.

Did they buy or borrow those trains? Maybe they are owned and lent by enthusiastic employees? (I love asking these kind of questions which will never be answered!)

Commercials are usually outsourced to companies who specialise in these kind of things. They can purchase all equipment on the tab of the firm and put them on the bill of the commissioner. Also, these things are tax-deductible and probably only used once, so either they ended up in the storage or an employee of the firm (or the chief) has now a few nice models at home (if they weren't rentals). :P
