    Hi Nice train layout and detail. The boat is however not really to scale. The bulwarks and handrails are way over scale. I suppose it could be called stand-off scale and should be viewed from a distance. I am however amazed at the ingenuity of modellers and the various ways we approach the same problems and get great results having employed so many different ways to solve the same problem. Love the posts please keep them coming.

    Thank for the e-mail. Is Z scale bigger then N scale

  9. Rod Mackay says:

    Z scale is 6.5mm gauge compared to 9mm for N so about a third smaller. There is also now T gauge which is only 3mm, the disadvantage being that if you lose THAT little sucker on the shed floor you’re gonna find it with the Hoover or not at all.
