[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 I guess it has been a while since I looked, sorry. 13 years ago I worked in a hobby store, back then we didn't bother to carry any Z, few American prototypes, few manufacturers, and expensive. Simply no demand. So, can you fit DCC recievers in it yet? One small thought here, and please don't take this the wrong way, but maybe part of the image and perception problem with Z is that people keep putting it in siutcases and briefcases. That certainly strikes ME as novel. [/quote] Hi Big_Boy, Understandable. A lot of progress can happen in 13 years and even as recently as 2 years. Many folks now model in more than 1 scale, i'm into both Z and N. Different layouts, although there are many who use multiple scales on the same layout as amusement park scenes or forced perspective. Yes, Z-DCC is now very do-able and a number of enthusiasts are doing it. For just a few of many fine examples have a visit to http://hometown.aol.de/redrockrail/English/Digital.htm http://www.texasandbeyond.org http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Z_Scale_DCC As for briefcases, Z gets put in them simply because it CAN be put in them. But it is not limited to briefcases. At one time it may have been considered a novelty or novel, and at one time my first impression was almost the same simply because i had never seen it before. But remember that Zedbug i warned you about? [:D]
