 So you thing models of miniatures are a good and wonderful thing - you're right, of course, but now someones made a model of a model! A Z scale model of an N scale model, no less. Its diddy!

 That has to be one of the most fantastically pointless things I have ever seen. Why is it that whenever anyone says "model railways can't possibly get any smaller" - they said that about 00 gauge in the 1920s! - somebody just has to go an prove them wrong?

Mind you, I wonder what size an N-scale 15" gauge railway would work out at modelled in Z scale...? :blink:

Agreed, it is not really a proper model railway! You can't even change the train formation as far as I can see.
