What made you choose Z scale... finally!

Absolutely, Terry. Does that make you feel better.

I have been toying with the idea of a Z layout for a while, but I had to go all in last week when I stopped at my LHS and they had a MTL GP9 in Grand Trunk Western paint. Having grown up in a small Michigan town along the GT main I couldn't leave it there! I picked up a MTL starter set of track so I can get a simple layout running for our local train club show Feb. 22, 2009. If I have half as much fun with Z as I have had in other scales, it will be fantastic.

Hello Vern and welcome to ZCS. The possibilites of Z scale are tremendous. If you are into scenery Z scale is tough to beat. Of course if small layouts are your thing then Z is just right. Enjoy, participate, and search through our Archive sections. Cheers, Jim CCRR:)

With my eyesight, it must be because I'm an idiot... Have you seen T scale yet? 1/450th!!! Half Z. Now that's CUTE, Karin!;-D (Glad I'm just out of your reach!)

I got my T scale (I already had ZZ and TY) just in time for my last exhibition. Just set up a there and back again line with auto-reversing. Visitors were amazed at the size, but only a handful worked out how the TY (1:900) layout worked. You can see these items on my website trains.manvell.org.uk/sub-z/

1:900 TY scale, wow. I am going to have a look. I just can't imagine trying to make structures for it. This is super, i'm arf to eyeball it.
