Looking for the world’s smallest model railway? Find it here but remember to bring your magnifying glasses.
At over 350,00 times smaller than its real life counterpart, this awesome model railway in miniature by David Smith from New Jersey is going to take some beating as the world’s smallest model railway.
David created the miniature marvel to fit inside a shop window that itself was on another model railway he was working on – a model railway within a model railway.
It comfortably beats already tiny T-Scale trains – 1:450 – that are available, I just hope David doesn’t forget where he puts it when next working on it!
Whatch the amazing video below, you only get a real idea just how small this wonder is when the tip of a ball-point pen is shown next to it at about 1 minute 40 seconds in.

Andy is a lifelong modeler, writer, and founder of modelrailwayengineer.com. He has been building model railways, dioramas, and miniatures for over 20 years. His passion for model making and railways began when he was a child, building his first layout at the age of seven.
Andy’s particular passion is making scenery and structures in 4mm scale, which he sells commercially. He is particularly interested in modelling the railways of South West England during the late Victorian/early Edwardian era, although he also enjoys making sci-fi and fantasy figures and dioramas. His website has won several awards, and he is a member of MERG (Model Railway Electronics Group) and the 009 Society.
When not making models, Andy lives in Surrey with his wife and teenage son. Other interests include history, science fiction, photography, and programming. Read more about Andy.
