These were actually mentioned over two years ago, here's Masaki
"INOSUKE" Kikuchi's response to the thread:
http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=5754
It's interesting though, from what I can tell, there is quite a bit of
LEGO activity in Japan, but we hear almost none of it. Of course English
is a barrier which reduces participation from almost all the non-english
speaking countries.
The Japanese definitely have a whimsical sense with trains though. I
remember looking at one set of pictures from a gathering where someone
had mounted a Pirate ship on train wheels (of course I tried to do that
at the first BrickFest, but never quite got my Imperial Trading Post
Cutter cruising around the train layout...).
