Is Felix Lesiuk going to eat a T-Scale passenger car?

Don't try this at home, folks! Felix Lesiuk is pretending to eat a T-Scale car to show how small they are.

Felix Lesiuk surprised us at the WMRC's March meeting by bringing in a complete T-Scale layout, complete with tracks, a power pack, a locomotive and a passenger car. He also brought in some accessory packs. The houses were so small they they looked like dice! 

T-Scale is the smallest commercial model railway in the world. Its scale is 1:450, making it ten times smaller than O scale. Its track gauge is just 3mm, or 0.118". The name T-Scale is derived from "three millimeter scale" and "Third of N scale". They were introduced in 2006, and they're powered by 4.5 volt micro motors. 

If space is at a premium, then this scale might be for you. But don't expect a realistic sound system at this size. When it runs, it sounds like there's a  mosquito in the house!

Here's the entire layout that Felix brought in, which is just a bit larger than a dish.
