Thought you guys would enjoy this
Check out his other videos, too. He’s done some amazing micro-animation… most of it for N scale! This is my favorite…

Thats sick[tup]
I must be missing something here. An HO built in N that’s 1/2" wide??? That doesn’t make any sence???[%-)]
Yeah, Loathar…it’s definitely out of scale! A full scale 4x8 foot layout would be .66 inches wide in N scale!
That layout is only 6 scale feet long! [:-^]

When I read that I thought the same thing, It looks almost like 1/4 scale ZZ but what do I know
My son, who is autistic, has a penchant for stating the obvious. He said,
“That’s the world’s stupidest train set.”
“But,” I said, “Look how small it is.”
“You can’t see it.”
I tried explaining how it was a miniature, N scale…
“Dad, will you let me get back to Pokémon?”
It’s not the world’s smallest. I saw one at a Great American Train Show in Tucson, Arizona a few years ago that is 1:900 scale with the train running in a circle inside a cigar box. And I think there’s another one that is even smaller.
Not to burst your bubble dude, but I think hat that’s a hoax.[%-)]
No, it’s not a hoax. David K. Smith, the modeler, is a regular poster on The Railwire forum… All of the projects are quite real. He’s also done an N scale barber pole that rotates, and roof top turbine vents that spin in the wind. He’s quite an accomplished modeler.

1/2" scales to 80" (6’8") in N-scale. An N-scale person built himself a small HO-scale layout - makes perfect sense. Think of the N-scale person as 1:1 scale.
A cool bit of animation.
Classic, Chip. [(-D][tup] You gotta love kids for their honesty sometimes.

ZZ Train,

The video is in Japanese but it appears that there is ZZ scale now.
It’s the size of a dime… real or not what the heck do you do with it?
I don’t know if you watch the Saprano’s but Tony’s brother-in-law is a model railroader and Tony basically looks at model railroading the same way. I think Tony told his sister, “He’s a grown man!!! (brother-in-law)”, “What the heck is he doing playing with toy trains?!?!?!”
If the guy want’s to make a model railroad smaller than a dime; more power to him. It’s all a matter of perspective.
Did he collect “O” scale?
Put it in the window of the hobby store on your N scale layout? [:-^]

I don’t know about it being the world’s smallest, but it’s MUCH smaller than the 1:900 you say you saw. This one would be 1:13936 scale. And 1/2" is MUCH smaller than a cigar box!
