"Deka Plarail Town Shinkansen Series N700 Station"

Some mildly interesting trivia:

I know that the name of this product デカプラレールタウン N700系新幹線ステーション is 'translated' in this way, but it's simply because the online translator being used doesn't know what to do with the characters デカ "de ka".

It's even that way on the box!



However, in this context it's a contraction of the colloquial adjective デカい "dekai" that simply means big, huge, colossal, etc.

So a more accurate translation of the Japanese characters would be "Big Plarail Town Shinkansen Series N700 Station", as recognised for example by Hobbysearch.
