Yup, Big_Boy, glue or solder to printed circuit board ties, available ready made. And there are at least 4 sources of track, both sectional and fixed, used for both Z and Nn3 scales. At least 3 sources of turnouts, although the word is that Micro-Trains now has them in the works too. And http://www.handlaidtrack.com has lay-your-own-turnout templates for all scales including Z. An avid Z scaler has recently shown how to scratch-build turnouts starting with MT flex track. <br /> <br />Maybe we should hang out on this list more and represent Z scale a little better. Otherwise when folks ask about Z there are not many around to answer with the progress Z has made, and then older impressions stay retained. <br /> <br />As for eyesight, many of us (myself too) use a magnifying glass to do the fine work, but not when actually running the trains.[:)] <br /> <br />Like any scale, track does need to be reasonably clean. We manage nicely. Especially with multiple wheel pickup now. There are Z scale track cleaning cars available, rubbing alcohol, and the venerable trick of a VERY light dab of Wahl Oil works wonders. <br /> <br />Anyway, if you like what you see come join a Z list and ask more questions. Many of us got into Z this way from starting out in larger scales and continue to model in multiple scales. Multiplies the fun!
