Just went knocking about town today looking at a couple of book shops and returning to the toy shop that had the massive floor just for model railways, mostly in N gauge (the commonest size in Japan compared to OO in the UK, N is half the size of OO). What I actually went for was some more T gauge stuff, check it out on the picture. The coach in the back is OO gauge - which most of you will be familiar with (it's closer to HO in size), the bullet train cab is close to N gauge, which is pretty small already. The smallest up until 2008 was Z gauge which was about 2/3 the size of N gauge but the tiny little coach in the front is T gauge with a track gauge of a mere 3mm (Z is 6mm, N is 9mm and OO is 16.5mm). I've bought a couple of trains and some track and to give you some idea of its size, you could build a scale model of Kings Cross station in about 300mm x 1 metre!
