An open operation of T-Trak modules was performed on June 26(Sun.), 2005 at the 11th JNMA(Japan N-gauge Modelers Association) Festival held in the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center in Hamamatsucho.
 This year's public operation was carried out with a 21-module double-track oval (with Automatic Train Stop device) and 12-module single-tack point-to-point layout ( automatic operation). While we were able to enjoy unique scenery with more-than-expected single-track modules, we ended up in occupying more space than scheduled, being sorry for having inconveniened other participants.
Some single-track modules have been created by being modeled after existing scenery such as Johoku-ota station on the Hitachi-dentetsu line in Ibaraki prefecture, Berlin's suburban train, Enoden in Koshigoe staion(Kanagawa prefecture), the 3rd Keihin line Hodogaya terminal (imaginary) ,which were getting attention by their distinctive technique and superb arrangement.
As far as double-track modules concerned, elaborately-made ones have been gathered, with both new and old giving visitors great fun. Some visitors were looking at our modules intently, which made us really happy.

Other than modules, mini pikes and dog-bone panels were installed for test runs and easy-going operation, giving us a chance to run trains in a different mood from a big layout.
As for vehicles, participant's self-made trains and ones borrowed from visitors were running, which are rarely seen in other occasions and created fun atmosphere.
Both a camera-installed train and a fixed mini camera aired a panoramic view of a train with a LCD monitor set inside an oval.
At business operator's booths in the venue, new products such as trams, various parts, and The-Bus-Collection related items were on sale, becoming the main topic among participants.
