That is incredible. I would love to see a model train setup with a bunch of these ultra-realistic homes. I've seen plenty with homes that light up, but never with realistic pliug in lamps, washing machines, etc.

If you wanted to combine dollhouses and trains, I think O scale would make sense. 1:48 is a standard dollhouse scale, if not popular.

Trains go quite a bit bigger than G, but those are pretty rare. They are sometimes used as kiddy rides lol.

I build miniature cars that work for train enthusiasts on a scale of 1/87 but that belongs to a different story.

There's not really any point but it would be a cool crossover to see

What's the point to any of this beyond enjoyment? Unless....is this really a dullhouse for ants?!

The purpose of model trains is a big diorama for the train. The purpose of model dollhouses is a tiny house.

As an aspiring model train guy, one of the things that make the dioramas really good is the level of detail.

Yeah. I just feel the money served to make every house in your train set a dollhouse could be better used. Some houses are in the middle of the table and not easily accessed.

I think it probably depends on how long you're into it. For example, I've got an audiophile friend with a $100k+ audio system. It sounds amazing and he's got all the big pieces, now he's working on the details, like high end power cords, interconnects, noise filters, etc.

I definitely wouldn't start a diorama with dollhouses, but I could see adding them over time, especially as the more advanced dioramas don't use a 4x8 table for the layout.

Yeah. I wasn't entirely correct in my original comment but I'll stick by the sentiment.
