How do you put it on the tracks?

do you put them on with a pair of tweezers?

The set comes with a rerailer ramp to put the cars on the track, but even if it didn't, the cars are big enough to handle carefully (the height & width are about hte same as the diameter of a per or pencil.), the flanges are a bit oversized and the trucks don't pivot much more than necessary, so its not as bad as you might think, though it does take a good eye and a steady hand.

is T or Z scale smaller?

[westr]

T at 1:450 is much smaller than Z at 1:220.

My dad got this set as a gift from someone in Japan, but search Google for T-Gauge and you should run across some links to a few online retailers. (YouTube doesn't allow links in comments)

@AGKHFilms ya i have over 15 on my layout i think. only mine are O gauge so they take up a little more room witch is the only down side. these little ones i think would be kinda cool to play around with when i get some time

@nardp96

T scale smaller than z.

And they only sell them in Japanese brands because they are made by only a Japanese manufacturer.

Maybe they'll make an English brand in the future.

Do you have a model train at your house?

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that a giant penny or is it just me.

When I saw that I was like well that's not very small.

but when I realized it was a penny I'm like whoa.

I wish I had one but they don't sell them at local shops (obviously) and they don't sell them online either.

Hmmmmm.... I wonder if Santa has one??
