The tiniest train set in the world

Just look up T Gauge on Google or YouTube. Lots of people are already into it.

" It may be small, but for model train enthusiasts it doesn't get much more perfectly formed than this.

The tiniest train set in the world - with a 3mm track gauge - has gone on sale in Suffolk.

-----ooooo-----

Just seen one of these on demo in the Gas Cupboard modellers shop in Westbury, Wilts.

Thought it was Z gauge, only to be corrected by the shopkeeper.

What, the whole shop fits in a cupboard? That's amazing!

You can get a big T-gauge layout in a cupboard.

A little late from the EADT there, I think. Galaxy Models in Ipswich has had T gauge on sale for a while now, and last time I looked that was in Suffolk too.

I understand the motors are from a pager ?

I understand that the powered cars have adopted the old Triang 'Magnehesion' principle to give them sufficent traction power. This means that if one wishes one could lay track on the ceiling and run the powered cars upside-down! One might strike problems with flies on the track! More sensibly, at a recent model Rly. exhibition here in Melbourne, one of the T gauge distributors had set up a length of track at an agle of about 45 deg. to the horizontal, and had converted one of the power cars to an angled car as used on funicular railways and was running this car up and down this steep angle.

I've started to wonder about a mobius strip railway.....

First sensible use of the stuff seen yet. Well done that chap !

In 1950 A.J. Deutsch wrote a science fiction short story "A Subway named Mobius" (or Moebius) set on the Boston subway, on which the addition of a new line created a topological singularity causing a train to disappear.

A film version set on the Buenos Aries subway was made in Argentina in
