Z scale (1:220) is
the smallest model railway scale with its track gauge of
only 6.5 mm. operate on 8-10 volt DC and offer the same
operating characteristics as all other two-track,
direct-current, analog model railways., It was introduced by the
German model train manufacturer Märklin in 1972 and even if is a
predominantly European scale, it has an increasing number
of loyal followers in other parts of the world too.
While Märklin remains still the most important Z scale rolling
stock manufacturer, there are smaller manufacturers of Z scale
rolling stock both in Europe and in North America targeting some
niche areas of Z scale demand.such as Freudenreich that has
introduced a complete narrow-gauge z-scale system with only
4.5mm gauge track .
Today Z scale is a legitimate, mature, modelling scale. that
makes it possible to build very compact train layouts that can
easily fit a normal size briefcase. Z scale can also be
beneficial when there is a need to fit more scale space into the
same physical layout that would be used by a larger-scale model.
However, Z scale
rolling stock, buildings and figures remain still somewhat less widespread
and higher priced than
their counterparts in more popular HO scale, OO scale, and N scale.
