Check out his other videos, too. He's done some amazing micro-animation... most of it for N scale! This is my favorite....

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!

Jake: How often does the train go by? Elwood: So often you won't even notice ...
When I read that I thought the same thing, It looks almost like 1/4 scale ZZ but what do I know
My son, who is autistic, has a penchant for stating the obvious. He said,
"That's the world's stupidest train set."
"But," I said, "Look how small it is."
"You can't see it."
I tried explaining how it was a miniature, N scale...
"Dad, will you let me get back to Pokémon?"

It's not the world's smallest. I saw one at a Great American Train Show in Tucson, Arizona a few years ago that is 1:900 scale with the train running in a circle inside a cigar box. And I think there's another one that is even smaller.
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.
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.

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

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

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