Stumbled across this on youtube earlier (when checking out the Hornby Junior video), just had to share it with you;

They are getting smaller but aren't there ones even smaller than this one?

Not sure, its the first running model I've ever seen that is so small it doesn't even have wheels - which does it make it not a train after all?!?

The smallest commercial runner prior to this would have been T gauge, they are minute, the ZZ gauge are small enough for me and my non-japanese hands lol!

LOL....this is a very interesting subject one that can amaze in the ingenuity (or too much idle time) of man.

How about others, have you seen the tiniest of trains?

May not be the smallest but still interesting...

Are these, like, the Narrow-Gauge to the N-Gage?
Well not really they are for the most part genuine scale models so for example Z gauge is what N gauge is to HO/OO gauge (i.e. still in scale, but even smaller).

From largest to smaller you go; O gauge, HO/OO gauge, N gauge, Z gauge, ZZ gauge, ZZZ gauge and finally T gauge. At least those are the generally commercially available scales out there.

T gauge is truly tiny a locomotive would sit easily on the tip of a finger lol!
