A Working T Gauge (3mm) Switch

This T Gauge (3mm) turnout (switch) was made using pieces of commercial track with handmade points and frog. The turnout is installed in a T gauge layout, the construction of which is being documented in a blog: http://1-450.blogspot.com/

Construction of the turnout is detailed here: http://1-450.blogspot.com/2008/10/3mm-switch.html

General information on T Gauge is available here: http://www.t-gauge.net/

Sorry to say that your wrong. The smallest scale in the world is the TY gauge at 1:900 scale.

@TheBlackmist9 TY is not considered a real modeling scale. The trains are not self-powered and they do not run on rails. You cannot buy TY track and TY trains and assemble your own TY layout. They are novelty belt-powered toys that look like trains. They are clever, but they are not model trains. If you insist on including TY as a modeling scale, then you must add two layouts I have built which are also belt-powered, at scales of 1:12,000 and 1:35,200. Search my videos to see them.

is t scale smaller that z scale?

[jdk1928]

@UPRRfan T scale (1:450) is less than one-half the size of Z scale (1:"220).

erm can you controll the speed of t scale

[jdk1928]

Yes, you are correct. The trains were run this way in order to "stress-test" the switch--to operate it in a worst-case scenario to ensure that it will work under all normal operating conditions. So, your point is...?

Congratulations! You are the Neil Armstrong of T-Scale....

[Xantec]

and i thaught Z was small !

[WandATexas]

Now...make a double slip switch with stubs XD

JKing. Very impressive work. I Barley hand lay HO track, this is a master peace of skill and work. 

[crubba]
