An easy to fly co-axial helicopter that's about Z scale. Between $16.00 and $25.00 although I haven't found them that cheap yet.

Worlds Smallest RC helicopter

Kelley, This is a great one! I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Something must have been wrong with going under the center span that looks 4-5 feet higher?? Jim

I'm with Jim- sure looks like they went under the wrong span!! Pilot error most probably- we will see.
Happened on C&D canal maybe 30 years ago- Pilot said he didn't know the RR bridge ever came down!!
And also on the James River- I was leaving Richmond and passed under the bridge that was hit 1/2 an hour later. If we hadn't got out before the collapse we would have been stuck for weeks above the Hopewell bridge.

that looks great, just missing a few spectators. If you add some of those you might get something like this:

Well, it's a soccer stadium. ...

I clicked that link Ulie and was thinking 'that must have cost a fortune in figures' when I saw the first photo... when I got to the statistics and saw total cost was between 8 and 10K € I nearly fell out of my chair!

If I get a stadium like that, then I would have to get the Märklin Bahnhof, and fill it with drunk fans,hooligans and Bereitschaftspollizei, to go with it.

well, it's a hobby, and you never think to seriously about the cost I believe... :blush:

...but I admit that I also was a wee bit shocked when I saw the total sum...

Nice stadii. I figure 10K is about what I've spent on modelrailroading in my 7 years. Jim

Hasse- Thanks for posting- very nicely done- It's almost like the trains have little people in them with a mind of thier own. I particularly like the ocean background with the lighthouse on the island.
Welcome aboard ZCS!

The smaller they make technology the more stuff for Z scale.

Where is my fly swatter?? I made a double ended fly swatter for SIL- she lived near a cow pasture. She said she was on a SWAT team...

Hasse, very nice.

People, check Hasse´s site. Very nice layout, lovely self built railcar and a very innovative notion about making underfloor turnout drives :silly:
