Holy crap that's tiny. I once saw a 00-scale model train layout at an exhibition with a similar idea, only the tiny layout was outdoors, and it didn't have any scenery, it was just a little white board with a tiny loco and 2-passenger-car train whizzing around it...I think it was 00 scale to the 00 world so yours kicks that one's butt.
Wow, this is truly amazing! I appreciate your great attention to detail! I’m sure this will look VERY impressive in the window of a Z scale hobby store. :-)
Oh, now I get it. The layout seemed way too small to be Z-scale, and I was confused at first. "Z-scale" means 1:220, so this is 1/220 times the size of the N-scale layout after which it is modeled. Cool!
@simhopp Thanks for the recommendation. Actually, I now own a camera capable of properly filming this; however, I simply have not had the time to do it. For one thing, the layout is installed inside a Z scale hobby shop on my layout (the James River Branch), and I'd have to dismantle the building to get to it. And so it goes...
I was gonna bitch about the video quality until I saw the ballpoint pen. Now I say amazing!
But it deserves better video. Could you set up a magnifying glass and aim your camcorder through it to record the train action? I am thinking you start out CLOSE so that the train and scenery fill the frame, then BACK OUT to REVEAL the magnifying glass and the true scale. You could have some small, known-size prop next to the train: coins? a wristwatch? a cigarette lighter?
wow amazing great skill and wonderful way to make it work.all we need now is for you to sell these in small packages so i can buy 1 and trip out on it when i have a drink from a hard days work....excellent job my freind.
My gosh that is incredible! I didn't realize how small it was until you held it between your fingers. Impressive. Does the locomotive actually have a tiny motor in it? Does it run on track?
@IstvanN1961 It's not a Z scale train. It's a model of a model. Pretend you're a little Z scale person (1:220) and you build yourself an N scale layout. That's what this is. Z scale trains are MUCH bigger--Google "Z scale trains" and you'll find out.
@zoadam "Decent" is a relative term. It's an extremely challenging object to photograph well--I recently purchased a new camera that will do the job; now, I just need the time to shoot it.
@jdk1928 I'd suggest talking to a professional photographer about this. They usually have access to the very best equipment on the market (either directly or through connections) and they also possess the related know-how.
Though it could be expensive to hire a great photographer with like hardware, I think most professionals would love to have such an original and challenging work in their portfolio so much that they might even do the shooting for free.
@zoadam I actually am a photographer. And other photographers I'm friends with all agree it's a tough challenge to shoot something so small, especially as it's not just a matter of knocking off a single macro shot; this has to be filmed on video. As I said, I now have the equipment to do it; I just need to find the time to get it done, because it's not something you can knock off in a few minutes; the setup for this will be hours.
So the next challenge is to build a train that will move in the window of a shop in this tiny layout...? Just joking, especially the fact that your tiny train is in the window of a shop in your model train layout is great!
It is very impressive and clever. However, it seems to not technically be a train. It's probably not possible to make an actual train at this scale, unless nanotechnology has made some decent progress since I last read about it.
@nexusone1984 .....2 or 3 grains (~0.05 grams) to stay on it's track and conduct electricity? To do so would very nearly require employing nano-technology. A motor so tiny that the copper windings would be similar in size to a nanotube just isn't possible to manufacture right now. Unless you know something we don't.............
@nexusone1984 Let's give credit where credit is due. The train cars are about as wide as a razor blade. The track width would be something on the order of 0.008", which is the first problem. But more importantly, even if you could manufacture ~0.001" wide rails, where do you think you could find an electric motor small enough to fit in a locomotive ONE ONE-HUNDREDTH of an inch wide? And since T-scale already requires magnetic wheels for contact, how would you get a train that wieghs maybe...
ik it dosent run on "tracks" so 2 say, but this is freaking beast! i give the guy that made this a thumbs up and a pat on the back, thats so freaking small!! good work!
They are going to put that in the window of a Z scale hobby shop........One question. Why? I mean will anyone actually be able to see it? It is impressive for its ingenuity, but I don't really see the point. Unless you have ants that like model trains.
@soundseeker63 I finally installed this in the hobby shop window as planned, and displayed the Z scale layout at an open house recently. The visitors could see the train moving on the layout in the window. It's actually not that hard to see, although you do need good eyesight.
I think you wouldn´t ask "why" if you were a modeltrainer yourself. let alone the fact that YOU know for yourself, that there is such a modeltrain working in one of your hoses is worth the job. even if you don´t see it. it´s all about the details, things you have and others don´t (aka great ideas) and fun ofc.
I think it´s great. never seen anything like it before. awesome job!
I'm surprised that there is even 1 negative comment here. It's fun, done because it could be and shows a great modelling talent :)
A model is a model, a recognisable object from real life, sized down...which this is. The bonus being that it operates to the eye like a train. Some comments read more like jealousy to me.
@nexusone1984 You aren't paying attention. OK, here we go again. This is a model of a model. Can you get your head around this concept? It's a Z scale model of an N scale layout. Very close to scale, as a matter of fact. And this is NOT a copy of another video; this is the original, by me. If you can find anything else even remotely like this, please post a link! And yes, T is the smallest train that actually runs on track. I know, I have the largest website devoted to the scale--look it up.
I love it, it's so cool, and I'm not even a train guy.
However, I don't think it can count as a train - it's a plastic tube with a train stuck on top - surely the worlds smallest train still has to run on tracks.
z scale great as you can build a huge layout in a small space, to the unimpressed,,WHAT, i just saw the part wih thw finger No Way! That is amazing! if you did not show how it worked nobody would beleave it.
Great work!! At that scale, I could model the entire state of Virginia in the room where my HO scale layout is gonna be built...(of course they'd commit me to a lunatic asylum at some point, but hey)
It's a great idea and don't mind the people discrediting it... Do you have a video of it in action in the hobby shop?
Congratulations, really impressive work. I've read other comments that say "i'm not impressed, i've seen bigger, blah blah", maybe is that they do not realize the dexterity required to make something that small, but i bet you don't get that sort of comments from children, they do really appreciate the marvel of small things.
Unreal! Its an amazingly thought out idea! You might have broken the world record for smallest model railroad! I have had both N scale and Z scale and also HO model railroads so this is so very cool! NIce work!
I'm sorry you were not impressed. But, as you may notice by many of the other comments here, being bigger is not always the most impressive thing for everyone. You would perhaps do better to watch videos of Lionel trains, if size is all that matters to you. Or, go visit your cousin.
@thegothmog Wow. A troll and an asshole at the same time. I guess the two can be synonymous. I am sure it took you 30 minutes to formulate that response, too. And another 30 to type it.
Very impressed with the model, yes there is a problem with taking photos of small things, I have the same problem with parts for 5 inch gauge live steam, I now have a floodlight set up to add more light etc.
In theory anything is possible. Splitting the atom, making a building, extracting minerals from the Earth, climbing Mt everest, its actually doing them that makes the difference.
so there isn't a 'track' as such? so its not technically a 'working model train layout' because it doesn't run on actual rails. Very impressive non the least. just a bit misleading
i guess its not a train cos it doesn't run on a track as such, but i will overlook that fact! how on earth did you manage to make the scenery, especially a tunnel!?
That's true, but it's all in the effect. Watching a TV show, you don't think of a living room (for example) as being a set with three walls and no ceiling, right? One of the good things is, you never have to worry about the train derailing. ;)
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.
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.
You are a heck of an engineer. Sure, after the reveal, any number of people could probably make one of their own. You thought up how to do it. Really cool.
VERY impressive. Well done.

Great work but i just can't help thinking it's just an tip of some rubber tube that rotates...

That's true, but it's all in the effect. Watching a TV show, you don't think of a living room (for example) as being a set with three walls and no ceiling, right? One of the good things is, you never have to worry about the train derailing. ;)

Wow. That would suck if it derailed. It would NEVER go back on!

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.
jdk1928 2 years ago
oh man so u made that yourself? WOW!!!!!! u are officilally now admired by the train colelcting world:)
64miguel 2 years ago
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.

This really isn't a train though (it has no wheels or track) - still cool though.
SkuldChan42 2 years ago 3
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.

I was expecting a track and such, but still pretty clever!

At this size, track and such would be all but invisible; as it is, the train can barely be seen by the unaided eye.

wow, after seeing the explanation that's amazingly simple to do at home.

My thoughts exactly. Anyway, a straw wouldn't work--too big and too stiff. So that part remains my secret.

You are a heck of an engineer. Sure, after the reveal, any number of people could probably make one of their own. You thought up how to do it. Really cool.
