    My Z-Scale SD45

    I'm going to drive DCC and I made my choice, Selectrix! Most decoders I found for Z scale support Selectrix so it was a pretty easy choice, plus those DCC control centers look sooo cool! :D

    My Z-Scale SD45

    They aren't going to be at a different elevation, they will come together again at the same hight and continui...but this is my first plan, I might let em continui at different hights and let em come together at a later point. Letting them come together at a later point would be much much...

    My estimations also say it's a 2.5 - 3% grade. The heaviest cars I got are the husky double stack cars, 1 SD45 could take 10 of those up a 3% grade, more could be a problem, I'm going to run 28 double stack cars with 3 SD45's, it should be possible :)

    My Z-Scale SD45

    Good comparison, the SD40-2 looks very big doesn't it? :) I never liked American railroads, I was planning to build a european track until I saw the program "Super Trains" at discovery, it went about the Canadian railroads and they showed some shots of the famous spiral tunnels, and the...
