Choosing a Z Scale Train Set

Unlike N scale, Z scale is a smaller scale and is ideal for modelers with a small home or office space. The Z scale can also be used as a background for a larger layout.

When choosing a Z scale train set, it is important to determine if the track is compatible with your other models. If it is not, you may find that your trains cannot move. You can fix this by adding traction tyres or cleaning out the track.

The Z scale is a smaller gauge than the HO and O scales. The track is 6.5mm and the trains are about 1:220.

Z scale trains are great for novelty setups in a small space. There are also several transportation museums that use this scale to display real world railway scenes.

You can find a wide variety of trains and rolling stock on the market. There are also a growing number of Z scale manufacturers. Micro Trains and Marklin are two of the best-known companies to manufacture this scale.

You can also find a variety of accessories for your Z scale model trains. These include scratch-building supplies, tools, electronics and detail parts. Many of these products are made of light-weight plastic or metal. These items are available through many online retailers.

If you're a beginner, it is best to purchase a Z scale train set in the middle of the price range. You don't want to end up spending more than you have to.
