Wow. That is very cool. That looks like some of your layouts.

I would hate to be on the team who had to glue all that together.

Wow, neat. It says it took 7 hours to construct. Wonder how many guys there are. This has to be from the Plarail company right? Quite expensive to make, to transport, to assemble, to tear down and to store let alone paying the employees. Thanks for showing us AC.

Plarail Expo in North Kyushu.

my life is now complete!!

wouldnt want to lose your balance in the middle though! i wonder how they do quick battery swaps on the central engines?

It doesn't look like any of the preassembled panels connect to each other so they could easily vary them to have a different layout each time and the foot print can be big or small as long as the dimensions on each side equals to the panels

If you watch the first vid some tracks overlap and it shows workers connecting two planks with rails.
My thinking is that they plan and assemble the layout at their shop to reduce the install and disassemble time at the show.

You are right, they do probably reuse panels depending on site size.
Now we just need a basketball size living room

If we win the lottery a train layout is required in our new home LOL
