He is basically a combination of all the greatest modelling attributes of John Allen and Rick Spano plus those of his own.
So to make a long story short, or... To make an overscaled story into a smaller scale story...

Yes, David K. Smith can officially be considered the Chuck Norris of Model Railroading (or at least for everything N and smaller).

That is all...

Yeesh, my head is all swollen. I don't know if it's from the surgery or from reading the Railwire...

DKS would have Z scale coins put in parking meters. He would
also have shown the kid winding the watch. Oh and the birds
crapping.

Not Chuck Norris...he's a meat head.  More like a Steve Jobs of Model Railroading...to twist his quote, "We don't know what we want in model railroading until he shows us what we want"   Stand back for head exploding :D

Your all wrong.  He'd do it in T scale.

Nah. I'd do it in FF Scale, 1:1000. Never heard of it? Not surprising, since I just made it up. FF is for fifty-five, the track gauge in thousandths of an inch (.055). But it's not an original idea; fellow Z/T scale enthusiast Ian Holmes has a leg up on me with his Nano Model Railroad. I have the same magnetic track device, which was a Railwire topic for a while; I just haven't decided what to do with it yet. Thing is, the track cannot be modified in any way, so whatever I do with it, it'll always be a racetrack. I'm torn between making an animated highway in T and following Ian's lead to make a nano layout similar to his. Or maybe both; either way, it's just more projects at risk of never being finished.

And i thought i'd found a micro scale that you hadn't heard of... silly me for thinking that.

I think that this micro stuff has potential in terms of Nano size railroads transporting molecule sized loads. One benefit is that you can have your track, and most any track, made on PCB, for a cost of course. Turnouts would be interesting to see...
