Put it in the window of the hobby store on your N scale layout?

Jake: How often does the train go by? Elwood: So often you won't even notice ...
I don't know if you watch the Saprano's but Tony's brother-in-law is a model railroader and Tony basically looks at model railroading the same way. I think Tony told his sister, "He's a grown man!!! (brother-in-law)", "What the heck is he doing playing with toy trains?!?!?!"
If the guy want's to make a model railroad smaller than a dime; more power to him. It's all a matter of perspective.

The video is in Japanese but it appears that there is ZZ scale now.

Classic, Chip. You gotta love kids for their honesty sometimes.

1/2" scales to 80" (6'8") in N-scale. An N-scale person built himself a small HO-scale layout - makes perfect sense. Think of the N-scale person as 1:1 scale.
A cool bit of animation.

No, it's not a hoax. David K. Smith, the modeler, is a regular poster on The Railwire forum... All of the projects are quite real. He's also done an N scale barber pole that rotates, and roof top turbine vents that spin in the wind. He's quite an accomplished modeler.

When I read that I thought the same thing, It looks almost like 1/4 scale ZZ but what do I know
Yeah, Loathar...it's definitely out of scale! A full scale 4x8 foot layout would be .66 inches wide in N scale!
That layout is only 6 scale feet long!
