Wow that's tiny! I'm amazed they can make that work. Very impressive! I love that in most scenes they have a beer with them too. :D I wish I understood what they were saying. Thanks for sharing.

That's insane. I have my hands full building what I think are smaller models, and these guys take it to a whole different level. Very cool and impressive.

I was doing 1:87 trucks back in 2004. Had a wheel loader but didn't get very far with motorizing everything. Need watch-making skills to get that stuff right!

The Germans were offering motorized HO scale cars and trucks before 2000, that were battery operated and ran on a roadway with a wire embedded into it. The wire attracted a magnetic steering lever that guided the vehicle along the roadway. I suppose the next logical step was to add a receiver, throttle, and independent steering control.

I was kind of skipping through the video, I didn't get a perspective until the samba van running around the coin, but when the guy picked it up and I saw it wasn't much bigger than his thumb nail, thats when I fell off my chair! :eek:

That would be N scale and yes that is the topping the cake.

An ex work colleague has an N scale trainset inside a small briefcase, I forget the brand, starts with M I think and is expensive and impressive, but the radio controlled construction equipment you posted... that is a completely different kettle of fish, well maybe not so much electronically, but to an RC guy like me it just blew me away :eek:
Want....
Imagine how much fun indoors we would have with N scale Pete's, Kennies, Fshakers, Macks etc on the dinning room table on rainy days! :D
Haha I could have a whole town setup just in the space it takes me to build a 1/14 rig! :cop:
Probably a Micro Trains N scale (1:160) set.
Could it of been Z scale (1:220)? AZL http://www.americanzline.com/ has really boosted the popularity of Z scale with all that they offer.
