in the above link, discovered by 'accident', take a look at Brian Harrap's craftsmanship in 1:220 scale....P220!!!!

this is the same as Z gauge, but ''fine scale''...... including that 6.5mm gauge track..Plus 4.5mmgauge, Zm for metre gauge!!!

I don't know what size rail he used...maybe 5 amp fuse wire??

check out the underframe piccy demonstrating the comparison with normal Z gauge wheelset...and Brian's fine scale wheelset........hard to believe this isn't HO or bigger

Hi Alaster

Thanks for the link

There is certainly some nice modelling in those pictures and the Z P220 shows a lot of craftsmanship

Regards Zmil

Excellent - would'nt drive a yellow car thereabouts though !

That Z is superb. I remember reading about the construction of it in the GRS magazine "Merkur" a few years ago. I have to agree with Brian about yellow cars though!

I also liked the (presumably) gauge 1 photographer.

This deserves a bump so I gave it one

Awesome to say the least.

Rowan,

Thanks for the bimp, otherwise may never have seen this - AMAZING. Really like the bridges of various types in the early shots. As already said hard to imagine its -Z guage. Stunning modelling is an under statement.

Cheers,

Norm

I could claim fat fingers (U / I being neighbours after all), or just the normal bad spelling, but will stick with PP lol !

Good spot Brian - if only the text was Z scale !!!!!!!

Cheers,

Splendid stuff! I've looked at those photos several times already. By the way, Zm (4.5mm) track used to be available through Aspen Model Trains, but they don't seem to be selling it any more.

Shouldn't he have spelled that 'bermp'?

Hi Gary,

Certainly its a wonderful model, & at the size & detail something of a masterpiece. I think its one of those layouts that everytime you look you see something you overlooked before !

Hope its given you plenty of inspiration for your Z guage layout.

Like the PP comment LOL !

Cheers,

Norm
