Title: Re: World's smallest model train Post by: VC on June 07, 2010, 12:34:38 AM Apart from me, are there any other model rail roaders in this forum? I am into HO / OO gauge. Nothing very fancy - Hornby, Triang, Fleischmann, Roco, Jouef, Bachmann etc. Love steam but can afford Diesel and Diesel / Electrics. No Marklin or Lionel, I'm afraid.
Is there anybody out there? VC Title: Re: World's smallest model train Post by: adnar on October 21, 2010, 08:01:08 AM On the smallest train:
It is a tube of clear plastic with a train painted on it. It rotates in front of a scenic background. The motor is below the base. The real smallest train is called "T-Gauge" and can be controlled. It is 1:450 scale. It is a Japanese product originally designed and produced by K.K. Eishindo. K.K.Esihindo has closed their toys business and the product is now made by Railway Shop which is the successor to K.K.Eishindo. The original person who designed it and handles development and design as well as oversees the production is the same. New items are released frequently. Model Trains: As for those interested in model trains, I have a layout with 65 mtrs of running track and can operate 4 locomotives on it at a time, without a crash. The system is designed to work with train stops at stations and operating but not controlling signals etc. All in Marklin HO on K track. Any member interested can write to me for any layout help or pictures. I will try and make a small collection of pictures and put them up for review. The layout design is based on India in the 60's. I will check how I can present some videos of the layout as well. |
