Hi John, Thank you. Nice to know I'm not alone ;-) Maerklin have the monopoly on Z Gauge SBB stock, yes. I've picked up a few items on eBay and the local auction site, ricardo. I was also lucky to find an Re 4/4 still in stock at the local conrad branch! Do you happen to remember the name of the shop in Romanshorn? I'll have a search around. Sounds interesting!

These look great Alan - and the photos too! What do you think it would take to rework the models for Z gauge? Could they be simply scaled somehow? (I'm not particularly familiar with 3D modelling but would certainly be happy to roll my sleeves up to do things like this!)

Hi everybody, I just signed up to the forum after finding a great post via google... and being stunned by the amount of really great content about Swiss railway modelling! What I don't find is anything that's specific to Z gauge. Is anybody here modelling so small? I found some great posts here relating to N or HOm gauge - tunnel portals and the Zürich double-decker 3D model - and would love to find this sort of information for Z. Z gauge is new for me and I'm just starting my build, having built a lot in N gauge (British Steam, predominantly LMS) before. Excited by the prospect of being able to model at Swiss mountain scale in Z! Thanks for any tips, links, or contact from like-minded people here. Robert
