 | Z Scale Layout:
Scale Ratio 1:220
Track Gauge 6.55mm |
 | To start our Z collection and layout we initially purchased a Marklin - 81785 "King Ludwig II" starter set with a Bavarian Passenger Train, Kit of Neuschwanstein Castle, track layout and power pack. |
 | The basic track layout as supplied in the starter set. |
 | We had decided at an early stage to have a mountain in one corner with the track running underneath it. The tunnel mouths are so small at this scale that we had to consider possible derailments and stopping within the tunnel. |
 | The base of the mountain showing the track, note there is no front to the assembly at this point. |
 | The finished base of the mountain, note the front, but this is detachable to allow easy access should there be any problems underneath. |
 | To enhance the layout we have added extra track. We have also included a river and waterfall with running water. There is still a lot more work to do on this layout. Oh if you are wondering where the castle is, when it is built it will feature on our Train Room layout in a pleasure park. |
 | A train going through through the tunnel. |
 | Further stages of developmeny will be ongoing |
 | Note the £1 coin, it is 22mm high |
 | We will amend and add content as and when it needs updating
