The World's Smallest Working Train Model

This carefully crafted piece of engineering is the world's smallest working train model. It's probably the world's smallest, most ridiculous and most awesome all at once. David Smith, an enthusiast from New Jersey, has created the world's smallest railway station with a train of five cars. This train is 35,200 times smaller than a real one. And it is able to move along the circular "railroad" through the tiny tunnel.

In fact, the train is only an illusion. Cars are cut into the edge of a plastic tube. (see video below)
The tube is rotated by a small little motor and it seems as though cars are moving. The motor powering the model can be bought in any hobby store in America

'This model train set is going to be part of the larger train set I have at home,' says David.
'I am creating a fictitious village called James River Branch and this model train is going to be placed inside the model shop I am building as part of the re-creation.
'It is going to be a model train village inside a model, so it is very post-modern.'
