Godd Morning! [quote user="last mountain & eastern hogger"]Last week here was beautiful, but very cool and rainy this week.[/quote] Same at this end of the Big Pond and no change today! With the surplus stuff now having been sold, I am wondering whether I should continue with my work on the layout (which involves still a sizeable (fdor me) amount of money) or should try to sell it as it is. I think it is pretty presentable at this stage and only needs some wiring work to be fully functional. Since I know it has to go, I seem to have lost all my enthusiasm about it. I´ll be doing more research on Z scale. The market is dominated by Marklin and other German manufacturers, but there are a number of smaller businesses catering forn the non-European customers. American Z Lines has a number of fine Diesel and steam locos, some of which are extremely high-priced. Their Big Boys, Cab Forwards and Challengers are way beyound $1k, which, although way beyond my means, is certainly justified for a super-detailed, hand-built brass loco of that minute scale. AZL´s USRA Mikado is about on the same price-level as MArklin steam locos, but with a lot more detail. Here is a short video on it, presented by a British model railroader on his nice-looking NKP layout: <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bNNYWTbZVWQ" width="425" height="350"></iframe> Quite nice! ... and, as a bonus: "Ladies and Gentlemen - the Big Boy!" <img src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEybxJ1HJ0I" alt=" " /> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fEybxJ1HJ0I" width="425" height="350"></iframe>
