John Barnes once hollowed out some bricks and stuck N scale
parts inside to make a micro-scale train - but that's because
he wanted to find out if his new micro milling machine cold
do it. :-)

And if you're thinking of making a loop, HO, OO and N have some pretty wide
curves as standard.  You really have to go down to Z-gauge to find curves that
are smaller than LEGO, and that would take some very specialised building
techniques!
