Man Builds World’s Littlest Skyscraper in Wichita Falls for Model Train Set

One of the most iconic buildings in Wichita Falls is now even smaller for a model train set.

When it comes to famous buildings in Wichita Falls. Many would say Big Blue downtown is probably the building that stands out most in the Wichita Falls skyline. However nationally, it's without a doubt the World's Littlest Skyscraper. Several YouTubers have videos with millions of views talking about the infamous Wichita Falls 'scam'.

History of the World's Littlest Skyscraper If You Didn't Know

The Newby–McMahon Building or the World's Littlest Skyscraper located at 701 La Salle in downtown Wichita Falls has gained fame worldwide because of videos like the one above. J.D. McMahon is the

one accused of scamming investors in Wichita Falls, but technically he didn't lie to them. His plans for a building were laid out, but nobody noticed they were in inches instead of feet. So the 480 inch building was built to the specifications and he got his money. $200,000 (equivalent to $3.7 million today).

I stumbled upon on YouTube channel this week called Ron's Trains N Things. His page is dedicated to those who are thinking of getting into model trains as a hobby. He will show you what it takes to get it going. He also decided to use another model, to recreate the World's Littlest Skyscraper. Apparently this is called 'kitbashing' using another kit to turn it into something else.
