Glove love from Train Simulator Keisei

I can’t lie; I think playing with train models is one of the most boring hobbies on the face of the earth. Large niches of people seem to like it though, which explains why a game like the Japan-only Mobile Train Simulator Keisei exists. So here’s a preorder incentive for all you boxcar and caboose fanatics: reserve your copy of the game, get an authentic train conductor’s glove! Just think, now you’ll be able to imagine yourself in the exciting world of train conductors and fantasize about waving people on board, punching their tickets, and giving them change! Whee!

"Large niches" ... Isn't that an Oxymoron?

Yes it is; we're basically commenting on the fact that Model Railroading is esoteric enough to only cater to a specific group of people, but large enough to warrant attention and investment from game companies in Japan.
