Alright........follow along with me here. This is a HO scale  MODEL of an N scale model railroad. Did you get that? A video of it running is at the bottom.

Actually, the fellow says it is an N scale MODEL of an HO scale model railroad.

BUT, curiously, that still yields the same size model (extremely small).

Look at this site, it says the other way. Either way, it's tiny.

The layout is modeled on a scale of 1/13936 (that's HOxN). A forty foot boxcar should be about .035" long at that scale. Scaling from the photo of the layout between someone's fingers, THE CARS ARE ABOUT .035" LONG.

EXCELLENT!

Yeah, but his brakewheels are .0003" too thick. And he calls himself a model railroader. Sheesh!

Seriously, that's gotta top this week's "pretty flippin' cool!" list.

Later,

If I was, this is what I would look like.

Therefore I enjoy these little oddities.  Especially the artistic ones like this.
