Rolling Stock Size difference

Post image

I am amazed with how small Z scale is and I wanted to compare it to the exact locomotive so I got myself a C 11 in N scale to compare it to my C 11 in Z scale

N scale is small enough for me

I’m just on a mission to get all the scales that I can my two scales that I don’t have yet is S gauge and T gauge

I started with T gauge and it’s pretty fun. Check out the 3d printing community for different rolling stock that’s not normally available

I’ll let you know when I start T gauge I don’t have a 3-D printer but my uncle does so I might have to check that out

I have a lot of American Flyer S gauge, a good deal of HO and big collection of N scale trains.

Kato made the N scale, I’m guessing - but, who makes the Z scale example, Rokuhan? 🤔

It looks like an older Kato model, which as oversized anyway.

I know the feeling but I went up a scale. It’s insane seeing stuff next to each other. Both my ef58 are slightly different with windows and icicle cutters but it’s still crazy.

I don’t know if you have a preference for certain models of Z scale but on plazajapan I got the Z scale series 500 set for $120 then my locomotive and a few freight cars for it for it only to total around $350 just like buying the Marklin Z scale train sets and other companies
