If you thought N Gauge was small, watch this...

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

Let's see him shunt on DCC

Don't be such spoilsports.  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! 

Yeah, too many grouches. Someone will be complaining about the livery or oversized couplings next....

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 

I'll get my coat

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!
