T Scale :mrgreen:
Re: Title Of This Sub-Forum - Jesso - 12-17-2008
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.
Re: Title Of This Sub-Forum - MountainMan - 12-17-2008
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.

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.
Re: Title Of This Sub-Forum - Wiredup - 12-18-2008

Re: Title Of This Sub-Forum - MountainMan - 12-18-2008
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.

Re: Title Of This Sub-Forum - Cannonball - 01-03-2009
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:
Re: Title Of This Sub-Forum - Sumpter250 - 01-04-2009
It's called T scale because the distance between the rails is "T"hree mm. That's 10-1/4", in HO scale.
