I collect N-scale (1/160) - see my "Penny pic" with my N-scale autos, Z-scale is about half this, TT-scale is almost half of that..... but THIS (1/700) is ludicrous! OMG! Those flat round silver "things" are dimes! 😯 😳 😯 😮 😬

Amazed that an item so small can be produced with such precise detail.

My theory is, that if you step on models of 1:700th scale with bare feet and do not know it - they're too freaking small! LOL. Like John, I'm amazed at how much detailing can be achieved in this scale. WOW!

Makes N scale look huge.

I believe the builder is actually making very large coins and one very large fingertip.

@georgeschire I can see my N scale trains easily.
Yes; and small scale miniatures lend themselves exceptionally well to large scale exhibits and dioramas.

@perrone1 When our local train club had an N scale layout at the Agriculture Museum it was 70 feet long by 20 feet wide. I used to run my trains with four locomotives pulling 120 freight cars which you couldn't do with the size you are suggesting. This is how you see 1/1 trains and as Tony said, lend themselves well to large sized exhibits.

@chris So, this is what the Keebler elves get up to in their spare time. Amazing detail for something so tiny. But, it sure solves the space problem in your house.

I JUST KNEW you guys would be as astonished as I WAS! - and yes, I am a prankster, and it IS close to April 1st, HOWEVER, this is 100% legit as far as I know. Trains in 1/700 scale is, well..... OMG!

1/700 is a common scale for ship models, but this is the first I have seen it used for other items. After checking on the internet, I found several items in this scale. One use appears to be creating dockside dioramas with ship models.

This is a model scale that you never want in a house with shag carpeting.
