World’s Smallest Working Model Train Layout
This is a Z scale model of an N scale train layout–a model of a model. And it works. I built it to sit in the window of a Z scale hobby shop on my “real” train layout, the James River Branch. (By the way, it’s about one-third the size of the last one I made.) You can read how it was built here: jamesriverbranch.net

This really isn’t a train though (it has no wheels or track) – still cool though.

This is a hand-made, one-of-a-kind item. It is not for sale. And if I made one to sell, it would be very expensive.

oh man so u made that yourself? WOW!!!!!! u are officilally now admired by the train colelcting world:)
Comment by 64miguel — November 20, 2009 @ 4:38 pm
Yes, I made it myself. I thought that was kind of self-evident from the video. If you’d like further details, plus information on all sorts of other things I’ve made, many of which are similar to this, please refer to the links in the video description.

OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!

That is INCREDIBLE!! And I thought z scale was as small as they come! This is so cool! You could mount it on a watch band.
Comment by earlymusicus — November 28, 2009 @ 10:44 pm
well if you think about. a track is just somthing used to guide an object aroud, so technicaly the slot is a track and a maglev is classified as a train yet it has no wheels. Plus the classifacationj of a train is a series of objects connected together with the ability to move, so technicaly thsi is a train.

THATS SO COOL!!

That aint z scale thats soooo much smaller than even z scale…nice work
Comment by guilford681 — December 9, 2009 @ 11:23 am
Once again, please read the description. It’s a model of a model. A Z scale model of an N scale train layout. Pretend you’re a little Z scale person and you decide to build an N scale layout for yourself. This is what happens! So, it is Z scale, but it’s not a Z scale model of a real train; it’s a Z scale model of an N scale model. I know its soooo confusing, but hang in there, someday it will make sense.

WOW! Incredible painstaking detail. This is a work of art!
Comment by StudebakerPackard — December 11, 2009 @ 12:45 am
Read description. Its a z scale model OF an N scale model.
Comment by KaTzaNdSTuFf — December 12, 2009 @ 9:46 pm
Wow. That would suck if it derailed. It would NEVER go back on!
Comment by KaTzaNdSTuFf — December 12, 2009 @ 9:48 pm
Great work but i just can’t help thinking it’s just an tip of some rubber tube that rotates…

This is always the risk when the magician reveals the secret of his trick.
