There is a tiny railway running around the dining table inside Rise & Fall Season 2, and it is far more interesting than a regular decorative prop. The entire dining setup has been designed around a miniature track, with a little engine pulling a series of carriages around the table.
The Tiny Train Is Carrying Photos Of The Contestants
What makes it particularly fun is what the carriages are carrying: framed photographs of the contestants themselves. So while everyone is sitting down for a meal, a tiny version of the cast is constantly making its way around the table. The train passes plates, glasses, food covers, and the elaborate spread before disappearing around the other side and making another round. It is the kind of detail you could easily miss while watching the arguments unfold, but once you spot it, the dining table suddenly becomes a whole different scene.
The setup has an especially nice old-world reference point in India. At Jai Vilas Palace in Gwalior, Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia had a miniature silver train installed on tracks running across the banquet table.

Jai Vilas Palace Has A Famous Train That Once Served Refreshments
The train was made in 1906 by British toy-train company Bassett-Lowke and was designed to carry refreshments to guests. Its silver engine pulled seven carriages made from silver and crystal, carrying things such as cigars, port, and liqueurs around the table. The train could even stop when a decanter was lifted.
The Rise & Fall 2 version obviously has a very different job. Here, the train is carrying the contestants’ faces instead of royal refreshments, turning a functional piece of dining-table theatre into a playful cast display. And with 15 contestants in the new season, including Gautam Gulati, Swara Bhasker, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Karan Patel, Shehzad Poonawalla, Siwet Tomar, Sara Gurpal, Niharika Tiwari, Tej Pratap Yadav, Raj Grover and others, there are plenty of faces to fill those tiny carriages.

It is a small touch, but a very memorable one; a dining table where the food is stationary, the contestants are seated, and their tiny portraits are the ones constantly going round in circles.
