What I'm up against.

Here we are then, some close up photos of the nano train stock as bought. Complete with a US penny in the background. It's blurred because everything kept shaking as cars went past on the road during the 25 second, f18 exposure. I got fed up of re-taking the shot, due to the vibration. this is the best one... You get the idea.

Lets for sake of argument call this the Coors light train, because that is kind of what I'm put in mind of looking at it. It comes as a loco and 3 passenger cars all based around the same 29mm long plastic chassis. The silver plastic bodies are 25mm long as near as makes no difference and are just a simple push fit on the body. Inside the chassis are 4 tiny magnets, two about 1mm in diameter and the other two about 2mm. I'll delve into the interior workings (!) later in another post, when the roads aren't so busy and I can produce shake free photo for you. These are tiny things. Just how tiny you can judge from the picture below.

This size is both scary and inspiring. Scary because of the tiny size but it inspires me so much my brain is flowing with ideas on how to build new bodies for these things. But I'll start a whole new post for that soon. For now just take in the size. If you want to buy one go ahead. Here's the link to the site.
