Why do this? Why am I writing a blog about a micro scale (1/384) model railroad? After all, we have N scale (1/160), and Z scale (1/225). Isn't enough, enough? Well not really. In today's world we have crossed the threshold into nano-technolgy. Therefore, someone's efforts in this micro scale is very appropriate. Also, there are other benefits in working in the Omega scale, 1/384 world. Some of which are: this scale takes very little room, everything can be built from inexpensive materials, and surprisingly, it can be operated without electricity! All good reasons to take the Omega Scale challenge. I hope to hear from the dauntless in the near future.
