Why are Miniature things so Awesome?

A government establishment, who have to engineer to precision levels (nuclear industry) made a little steam train. I was privileged to see it on a visit I made there.
When I say little, I really mean it. The engine and tender when coupled fits into the hole in the zero on a 50p piece! When viewed under magnification, it is absolutely perfect, turning wheels, steering, little rivets the whole 9 yards!
It's nice to know that these guys that could fry us with a simple mistake can work to such extreme precision.

I am big enough that everything around me is little by comparison which means my world is a little bit more awesome... On the other hand lotus and caterham suck for not making sensible cars 
On the other hand there is a giant table and chairs in the tate modern at the mo which make me feel small. This is also kind of cool.
