I love this scene from Thunderbird 6, where they visit a restaurant served by Triang 00 gauge trains,
Id like to go to a restaurant like this

There was a Japanese cafe in Melbourne along similar lines. Instead of the usual conveyor belt, sushi dishes went around on an O scale (I think) train. Sadly, it closed about two years ago.

the signals on the table are hornby, although the one on penelopes table changes from shot to shot

There is a number of restaurant that uses this exact system. I would definitely like to see one in the .U.K. but somewhere with a serious link to railways such as the NRM.

Below are my two favourites.

1.Vytopna restaurant
Uses it for the drinks instead of food.

2.Ximending sushi train restaurant

The green engine arriving at one of the tables is a 9F "Evening Star"
