We put T-Trak on display at the 25th Japan Model Railroad Show held at Ota City Industrial Plaza(PiO) in Tokyo on Oct. 30(Sat.) and 31(Sun.) ,2004.
 Apart form the floor on which corporate boothes are lining, T-Trak was placed along with HO and N gauge layouts in a corner of a different room. With about 25-30 modules, we set up a double-track oval with ATS (Automatic Train Stop) system
for the two-day session, and plus, assembled a dog-born shaped oval with two loop modules for the first day, an ordinary double-track oval for the second day (meaning comprising two "islands" for each day).
Though the number of newly-built modules are small, it can be said as a whole distinctive modules gathered. A European-taste big module(900 by 600mm) was drawing attention with its spacious scenery.
At the venue, some volunteers performed a work class for the visitors. Many guests (mainly parents with children) enjoyed creating small scenery in a picture frame.

Many distinct vehicles were seen such as Toden (Tokyo's tram),Tamden (Trams of Tokyu Corporation) and European cars.
The camera-equiped car speeded along smoothly. We were able to get realistic images along with fixed cameras, partly due to a good reception condition (maybe the size of the venue went well with the antenna).
For aesthetic purposes, we concealed ugly electric wiring beneath the modules and set up a partition against a wall so as to hide baggage behind it. The partition was also used for displaying photo panels. By doing so, we could improve the appearance to some extent. Further efforts are needed to improve the beauty since unused vehicles and maintenance goods still spoiled the appearance.
