N scale I tried - once. Z scale I never tried for the same reason. T scale? No thanks!

Hmmmm..... well, for those of you who go in for super detailing the interior of your passenger cars you could make one of your cars a private owner car and, as part of the detail effort, have a functional model train set-up in one of the larger bedrooms. Imagine the surprise of your visitors as they looked at the inside detail of the car as it passed their position around your layout and saw a functioning scale model of a model train.

Imagine the surprise of your visitors as they looked at the inside detail of the car as it passed their position around your layout and saw a functioning scale model of a model train. Yeah, well, I got close to this (see below) but in fact at 1/450 T scale is still way too big to fit inside an O scale car interior. Just a couple of weeks ago some of us were debating what scale a model of an O scale layout on an actual O scale layout is or could be and the answer came out at near enough 1/2000: o-gaugeforum.com/thread/9752/scale
I do like the idea and on a whim once modeled a train layout with a ZW-L transformer inside one of Lionel’s 21” cars:
Yes, it can be seen through the car windows but making it operable was not an option. The closest I have seen is in my favorite Lionel accessory, the animated hobby shop. I have a video of mine but this is better:The cars are less than 3/8” long. T scale is a Japanese invention and if you are confined to tabletop modeling I suppose it has its appeal.

T stands for Toss it. I thought it stood for tiny train.

Why would we want something like T or TT gauge? You can't even see them!
