The creek in scale 1:220 is outstanding!
6 inches are a little universe in Z scale. Looking forward.

That is a really nicely done layout. Thumbsup The added stream looks great. Maybe adding a wooden foot bridge across it is an idea?

I have to keep telling myself that it's Zscale and not Nscale...and remember just how small everything was to work on for you. Your effort has made it look so easy (and I know it wasn't) that I'm thinking of a small Zscale layout build myself just for fun.

(Wait...what am I thinking...my Nscale layout isn't even finished yet. Wallbang )

NTS was fun,but oh so tiring for this old man.People could not believe the detail and running ability of Z scale.In fact I heard people telling other people the layout was N scale. Nope :mrgreen:

So far my only investment in this project is time.

Re: My Z scale layout from start to - Tyson Rayles - 08-11-2012

What are you going to do with all that additional acreage Catt?

The track is getting extended 6 ",the last house on the left will be moved to the inside of the loop.Pus there will be more trees ,most likely WS for the time being.I just checked and it looks like there will be enough room for another house on the right side too.

Re: My Z scale layout from start to - Catt - 08-12-2012

Fashia is installed,next project is moving the track (not looking forward to THAT).

White strips at the corners is drywall seam tape.I thought I would give it a try for the corners,if I like it when done I will do the corners on the other end the same way.

OOPS,forgot to mention I now have $4.28 invested in the project.I bought some ATLAS code 55 terminal rail joiners to add another set of feeders to the layout.

Re: My Z scale layout from start to - Catt - 08-16-2012

Nuther update pic.Fashia is done and painted,some ground cover is done.I need to do the road ,glue the base for the house down so I can scenic that area .I also need to get some more trees to finish the wooded part of the layout.

Because of the low picture angle this end view is slightly distorted and elongated . Wallbang

Re: My Z scale layout from start to - Catt - 08-20-2012

Sometime today or tomorrow I will put all the goodies on and take a picture of the layout in full dress. :mrgreen:
