If you thought N Gauge was small, watch this... :hmmm: :worried:

WOW
it's very nice, but I wonder if it is in fact somewhat misrepresented?
Is it in fact a 'working' layout (which is what it is promoted as as far as I can see), or just a very carefully-assembled 'bunch of bits' on the (very, very small) equivalent of a CD on a turntable?
However one interprets it, the builder must have a high quality microscope, a good eye. and a 'non-slipping' pair of tweezers... :) :) :)
Well I know I am totally wiped out. That is awesome. And just as awesome is the concept... a working model railway in a Z scale shop window!!!
The things people get up to!!
Mind-boggling ingenuity.

The latter I'd say ;) Even describing it as a "model railway" is pushing it a bit since there's no track or separate coaches/wagons just the end of a tube with notches in it - more a crude model RESEMBLING a railway :unimpressed:
Let's see him shunt on DCC :evil:

Don't be such spoilsports. :P The late great P.D.Hancock had a little clockwork train on a stick running around in a garden on his legendary Craig & Mertonford way back in the 1950s!
I think it is very fitting that, in these days of smartphones and miniaturisation of electronics, some ingenious person has built a nano railway!!
Imagine folks reactions when they peer into the little shop window and see a little train running around!
Wonderful stuff! :thumbsup:
Yeah, too many grouches. Someone will be complaining about the livery or oversized couplings next.... :D
Very impressed myself HOWEVER!:
All the children of Lilliput are really upset that their local barber shop layout has been ripped out by those giants! LoL :smiley-laughing:
I'll get my coat :dunce: :confused1:
I wouldn't fancy trying to replace the motor brushes on a loco that size... ;)
Alright, so it's not a "proper" model railway - but what a lovely idea and beautifully made!
