RBTKraisee Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi All, I'm sure I can't be the first person to ask, but a quick search didn't turn up a prior thread... What is the smallest clock/watch mechanism people have found for use on model railways? Ideally Quartz, and something that isn't expensive. I'm modelling King's Cross station in N gauge, and there are a number of clocks in the tower and over the platforms. The real size for the smaller clocks would be around 3 mm in diameter, but I don't expect such a miracle I can find some inexpensive ladies watches that are under 10mm across and they could be made to work pretty well, but I wonder if there's anything a bit smaller that 'those in the know' can point me towards? Thanks Ross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherman Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Hi there. I suggest you look for a cheap ladies cocktail watch. they tend to have a very small face and hence small motion. Do a search on Ebay for this. It is listed as £7.99 Ladies Cuena Small Black Or White Face Narrow Stainless Steel Mesh Strap Watch This maybe what you are looking for.

RBTKraisee Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks cypherman, That helps. There's also a load of "People who viewed..." links there too, which I'll rummag through to find the smallest unit possible. Cheers, Ross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCB Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 It will be fun trying to set the various watch/ clock mechanisms to the correct time.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
