What is that train/trainset they show? Looks like a computer simulation but whatever it is I want one.

I don't know what it is, but it looks like a Japanese bullet train..
On a slightly different point, it must be made by Hornby, Dapol and Bachmann because the couplings come apart as soon as it hits a set of points! :-)

It looks like a freelance "futuristic/retro" train perhaps inspired by the Japanese bullet trains.
A bit 500 Series-ish? Or an ICE3 that's been stretched.
And is that the Dear Leader of North Korea on the train at the start?
I prefer the other advert with the boy and his pet croc.
The man on the train looks like Sir Clive and the train itself looks like a converted Sinclair C5.
Talking of TV adverts was there ever a follow up to the Hornby one with the banana ?

banana? I remember something about 'the flying helmet and the wet celery' ;o)
It's got to be a Bachmann by the way the couplings keep breaking!
