Anyone run this new T gauge they have ?
@RustyRatRod
They are 1:450 scale and really cute

Must be new because I've never seen them before

I thought N scale is small, N scale is huge next to these

That's stupid small. Smaller than Z scale. Deadgummit.

I forgot about z scale. Those don't seem very popular.

I've been thinking of moving to N scale, but I sure wouldn't go any smaller.

That is crazy! How do they get an electric motor and gears in something that small???

Seems like the smaller they get, the bigger the price tag.

That's why H.O. scale can't be beat for a lower price and really good availability.

I think HO will always be king because of that.

I have a bunch of 70’s N scale from my younger yrs. The cars can derail easily, thinking they need a bit more weight to keep them on rails. Wonder how these would be

holy crap. thatsway too small.. i'd need a magnifying glass to work with that.

I happened to be in SLC Utah at the same time the national model railroad convention was being held there.

There was a Z scale layout that was about 1500 square feet.

There was a LOT of stuff (not really) packed in there.

...and it was super detailed.

Unfortunately, the smaller you get, the less "realistic" the physics are or appear to be.

Some N gauge that my dad gave me. I never did anything with it. My older brother got all of his HO gauge (was a lot) and he never did anything with them. Still like looking at them though.

We had a fairly large HO setup when I was younger, I have a few pieces boxed up somewhere. I can't imagine working with something that small. Cool conversation piece though.
@harrisonm "How do they get an electric motor and gears in something that small???" you ever see how small the motor that makes a cellphone vibrate is. It's crazy how small they can make things.

My son and I run HO. Couldn’t imagine anything smaller than N. Cool to see. Nightmare to mess with lol.
