Seen at the Chorley Show last weekend, a really neat little Z gauge American layout. I'm posting this purely for the interest of those modelling U.S. railroads as, to be honest, I know nothing about it. Here are some pics

Very nice  Newport many thanks for sharing   :)  Z is a bit too  small  for me though N is small enough   :thumbsup:

Likewise! I had to use the zoom on the camera to see 'em ;D
At least it always had something moving on the layout - something others ought to take note of ::)

The size makes the challenge of working in it even more fun especially when you look at some of the station building kits etc
Thanks for the pictures  :thumbsup:

Must admit it  does Poliss   ;D   though i   would have to  replace the rails they are overscale &  my  eyes wouldnt  stand it,  fitting  Ditch   lights to  Z locos would be a challenge  but not sure about  step lights  N scale  are tiny enough to do   :thumbsup:

Prefer my mates Gas Turbines with sound :thumbsup:

Really like a Z gauge layout but sadly the old eyes would not be up to building one of my own.
