T Gauge Test Run

This is a test-run of a very old pre-production prototype train set from Eishindo. The current products run much, much better. For more information, please see my website: http://t-gauge.net

small but runs like a battery operated toy.. No more big boy toys...

@sumeth01 The product is improving. You need to walk before you can run, and the manufacturer is making great strides to make better models. Please don't use this old, old video as the basis for assumptions about the product. As it happens, the product I received was a pre-production prototype. The new models are much better.

the sad thing is they are just as expensive as oo gauge

[jdk1928]

@bwarrrrk Really? A complete T-Gauge train set, including an oval of track, a power supply, and a four-car train is less than $150.

Those are too small! Insanely too small!!! I could probably set up a layout inside my lungs with those!!!

Looks like there is a problem on that bend.

I love anyways.

Isn't that size amazing!??!!!!!!

@jdk1928 yeah, but for a set, it would be bought under the l]inks on wikipedia, and a starter set costs 150, about as much as a good quality HO scale set

[jdk1928]

Even better: start with my website, the biggest one on the Internet devoted to T Gauge. The web address is t-gauge (dot) net.

@mosher111 It is made by a quality manufacturer. The problem is the laws of physics makes it very, very hard to make models this small run well. The manufacturer has introduced a second generation series that runs much better, and a third generation is in the works. You have to admire a manufacturer that demonstrates a trend of constant improvement.

@Carolynn32 you can go through wikipedias page about T scale and at the bottom there will be a couple of links

[mosher111]

Would be nice if they were made by a quality manufacturer whom could make it run reliably.

When I wentdown to the b&o RR musuem last timethey had theese there

[raymondleeleggs]

why they so noisy?

[jdk1928]

And that is...?

[schomy69rrr]

there is one scale smaller

[shuffle953]

so if u have a small board or something like that u can have a big layout

[tedd261]

This makes even z gauge look big, but what is the point of making it so small??? no detail on it and it would get boring after a while to, and if you lose your magnifying glass you are kind of stuck............

[UKRailSpotters]

to small won't have as much fine put it in brackets (fine) detail

[mecrazy5]

far too small, makes my n gauge look huge!

[Chessie9009]

it looks like Z. r u sure its smaller? (guess i just need a reference)

[Trainbrain1949]

This scale is for young people with good eyes. What do trains like this cost. I could make an empire on my old high school drafting board. (If I could see it)

[jdk1928]

Actually more like 60-80 mph. This set was from an early production run. They have since improved quality a lot, and new sets run much smoother and slower than this.

[013108today]

I've been wondering about the scale SPEED, though. Isn't this train running at like 1,000 scale mph?

My condolences to the lives lost in the derailment of car 4

[jdk1928]

I didn't get them from a website. A friend in Japan purchased them for me.
