The world’s smallest train set has just been unveiled and it measures just 1/8th of an inch by 1/4 of an inch. The model has been designed by David Smith, a New Jersey model train enthusiast. It was built using just a craft knife and a rock steady hand which has resulted in the most amazing train model in the world.
The train is part of the fictitious village he is going to create called James River Branch. Since it is a model train village inside a model, the smallest train model is being touted as a postmodern sculpture that exudes artistic relevance. Though it is the smallest train set, it cost Mr. Smith just £6 and he spent more than 2 and half years to build it.
It certainly is an awesome model which deserves a second look and it shows how we have all been dominated by the presence of trains no matter how miniscule it may sound. Trains are gradually losing their importance but they still can generate the headlines around the world, and that is perhaps what makes this model train so relevant. Moreover, it would encourage people to travel by train often.
