times since the counter was installed.
NOTE: Page size is limited by HTML to some 30kB;
thus, I have been forced to add new pages just for Z-Scale, more Z-scale, and articles about Z-scale
and to split the Zictionary yet again!
Z-Scale model railroading, at an incredible 220 times smaller than life size, or slightly under half the size of the familiar HO scale, with rails only 6.5mm (~Ľ") apart, continued ...
Z scale is about 2˝ times smaller than HO! In Z scale, a scale Ľ-mile is exactly (and only) 6 feet; in other words, a mile is only 24 feet!
On various other Z-scale pages, I refer to der Herr Harald Freudenreich, who makes the most incredibly fine brass and nickel-silver Z-scale locomotives, cars, signals, and catenary; for lack of space, I have moved his additional coverage to Z-scale page 5 - Even More Z.
[You might note that hiZtory doeZn't fare Zo well herein!]

For the story of the Berlinerwerke-Z (my layout), see the Berlinerwerke-Z Saga page, et. seq.
For tall tales of the BW and its equipment and such, visit the Berlinerwerke Apocrypha page.
For more and better illustrations of the tall tales and such, keep in touch; I have my digital camera (11 Jan 99 - a belated Xmas present - an SLR, no less!), the requisite software loaded, and scads of server storage space. Now, all I have to do is take more pictures.
See also the preceding page, succeeding page, and the Z-scale articles page.
For Ztrack Magazine, see its new separate page.
For 1:440 and even 1:900, see 1:440 Scale and 1:900 Scale!
If you enjoy this idiocy, you've gotta see the Pseudodictionary!
