OOOHH! N-scale! Nice stuff, even for the apartment
dweller.
actually, Z-scale is better. you can run a coupla loops around on a shelf! of
course, miniturization <sic> costs money...

You got it, I've managed to get the basic Z-scale set, but haven't found
time to start building my track. I want to put a track in a briefcase :^)
I started out with HO and still have a ton of HO stuff, though my folks
gave the trainboard away while I was in the Navy :^( (well, I did OK it)
And, no I don't like Z-scale for the name, I like it for the amount of
scenery you can fit in a small space.

Faugh! They're too small. I have to admit I'm tempted by the Royal Arsenal
18 inch gauge prototype. A nice side benefit is the cars are large
enough to store cpu's in, too.

Costa Mesa, CA has a large group of 18" train buffs, and I "think" they
make us look almost sane. They made a deal with the city to use some
undeveloped land west of the golf course on (Harbor?), and have a nice long
layout and workshops, with the give side being free rides on one or two
weekends a months (kids LOVE this).
