Enzoamps I used to model in HO, but living in a one bedroom senoir apartment, I cannot build a layout. But at train shows I see the tiny Z scale layouts that can fit in a brief case. I am intrigued.

The manufacturers are also the advertisers. That's an inherent conflict of interest.
Perhaps the are thinking sticker shock. That was my first thought when I saw the prices of Z scale. But they need the same types of molds the same type of electronics. The fact that they are much smaller probably only saves a few dollars on the cost of production.

Thanks for the replies. I know I can surf the web and find out, I was just wondering why the marketing was different.
No idea why that would be but you can check prices at Modeltrainstuff and other web stores. While they are a lot smaller, the price doesn't scale down very much.
You can browse here.

I used to model in HO, but living in a one bedroom senoir apartment, I cannot build a layout. But at train shows I see the tiny Z scale layouts that can fit in a brief case. I am intrigued. But one thing I always wonder about: In the write ups and other things in the magazine, there is never any mention of price. The major scales usually have a MSRP for DC and DCC versions, etc. Never on Z-scale. WHy would that be?
