It's A Railway Set,

but not mine! considered to be the smallest in the world this miniature moving train set will be in the window of a shop in a larger model railway,
it measures an eighth of an inch by quarter of an inch, this carefully crafted piece of engineering is considered the world's smallest working train model, created by New Jersey train enthusiast David Smith, the minuscule model was built using nothing more fancy than a craft knife and a steady hand,
part of 55-year-old David's larger model train set at his home in Tom's River, the tiny locomotive was completed two months ago, 'This model train set is going to be part of the larger train set I have at home,' says David, 'I am creating a fictitious village called James River Branch and this model train is going to be placed inside the model shop I am building as part of the re-creation, 'It is going to be a model train village inside a model, so it is very post-modern.'
well I am looking forward to seeing David's train set completed, I just hope the editor remembers to put a few shots of it in the paper.
