    Ready for this? A 1/900 scale train running on my Z scale layout. I will add a ticket booth later. Z scale engineer in the cab and a passenger riding. No actual track - just coils. Linear induction drive. Available at:

    1:900? The math is hurting my brain! ;-)

    So there are no more possible brain injuries - 4 times smaller than Z. 220 x 4 = 880. Close enough!

    After cleaning wheels and pickups, my WP503 runs very well (for a small Märklin mechanism). :cool:

    That switcher does run very smooth. I like that bulkhead flatcar too! :)

    Jeff Thompson put up this video he shot off of 99. Real nice mixed freight with helpers in the middle.

    The Church (right next door) would finish services and the people would spill in for their Ice Cream and/or donuts and coffee. So there would be a sudden nicely dressed crowd and then almost all gone in half an hour.

    Just like to let you know you can make money with videos. A German company (www.cobblestone.de) wanted the rights to one of the videos I made (and posted here too) called "Just for Gary". A fellow ZoCal member, Gary Hoffman, had a small European train in a loop in fake snow on top of his Z Bend module.
    Well they sent $500 to my PayPal account today. Whoo Hoo!
    They will send me a link to the finished commercial when it comes out and I will post it here.
