My Z scale layout

My Z scale layout was created by Catt
Here is a quick pic to show you what my Z layout looks like at the ripe old age of 8 months.The layout is 24" by 48" with a 2" bump out for the team track.
I still can not believe how much money this little layout has cost to get to this point.
Oh well I'm having fun and that is what matters,

Well done Catt.
What Jeff says about a scenic divider illustrates the essential dilemna of Z scale: you can fit lots of layout into a small space, but the smallness of the space allows the viewer to see all of it at once. Scenic dividers, like the river or buildings, are vital. And yes, it is an expensive hobby!

It has been great watching the progress on your layout. Please keep the pictures coming.
I don't recall if you posted a track plan, if not it would be interesting to see how you planned your layout.
Thanks,
Jerry

Goob, Since you asked the question, never. On the other hand, the pursuit of excellence should be a goal. A personal goal for sure. Perfection is almost by definition impossible to achieve. Of course Catt's track doesn't have to be straight. Seldom will you find long straights in real life. Good for pointing that out. Cheers, Jim CCRR

Hmmm,I think it is about time for a small update.The houses and garages are from Karin.The green one stil needs some trim pieces installed.
Anything Lasered on this layout will either be Karin's or Rich's.[color=][/color]

Here is the latest addition to the layout.Part opf the reason for the blurry pic is that the train is moving and I was in a hurry to get the pic before the train got to me.
The scene is not done yet,but I am running out of time till our first show and there is at least a 3 day hospital stay in the mix too.
