Most people, like me, would know how tough modeling in n scale could be, but my question is how hard is z scale, i know that shopping for anyting decent in n scale, like models or good track is tough, but i have found it almost impossible to find anything in z scale, so for all the z scale modelers out there, where do you get your modles and trains from, and do you have any pictures of your z scale layouts?\[8D]

Nothing wrong with N or Z. I like them both.

My question was N or O and O won hands-down. Nothing wrong with the smaller scale - lots of wonderfully detailed engines, rolling stock, etc. But the 'heft' of O scale, the sound, the working accessories - the sheer nostaglia of it all - plus my N was pretty finicky (turnout derailments, etc.) for which I blame myself. There is some nifty Z scale stock - no commercially available turnouts though.
