Title says "N/Z and Samller Modeling...OK...I'll bite...what is smaller than Z scale? :?

T Scale :mrgreen:

T Scale is 1:450, the things that I have read about so far say that instead of using weight to hold the cars on the track they put small magnets in them. Seems like it is catching on over in Japan.

Is it available much in the United States?

I'm not interested in it as the primary scale, but the trucks and track have possibilities for other uses.

Wow, now that is tiny.

The ones I have read about were purchased from japan hobby shops and shipped over, so there is not much here.

Trucklover and myself know somebody who is planning a layout in T scale on an SD card DCC

Plaza Japan is great! They sent me a Christmas card since I bought a light rail train earlier this year. And the train got here really fast (3 days) They are good.

wow that stuff really is tiny! looks cool though!

Thanks, upnick, and you others as well.

This must be the source of those tiny trains the Japanese put into little boxes.

Here's a T scale building I cut to see if it could be done. It is sitting on the platform of my HO station.

Looks like you could put a "G" scale railroad in an HO scale backyard.
Hmmmmm..........The light bulb just came on.

AAAAaaaaargh! NOT THE LIGHT AGAIN!! hock:

I have really got to get me some of these.
The possibilities for a layout of massive size in minimal space are astounding.

The wife is gonna kill me. :mrgreen:

It's called T scale because the distance between the rails is "T"hree mm. That's 10-1/4", in HO scale.
