    My Z-Scale SD45

    My dream has come true, someone build a Big Boy in Z scale! Mr Yuji Kuwabara build the locomotive from scratch, and o boy it looks good! Here's the Big Boy standing on a track placed on a cd-rom, now you know how big it is, it's huge for Z standards! Some more:

    My Z-Scale SD45

    Well I did some brainstroming today in AutoCad and this is the result: You see 2 gray lines with red boxes at the end, those are 2 rails with 2 red container cranes on them. You can see a BigBoy Yard, I really love that locomotive and I've been told these locomotives come to Z scale some...

    What's with all graffiti?

    That happens when you ain't got a proper fence around your staging area :) I'm not a big fan of graffiti, I like to keep everything crisp and clean, but it looks realistic SD90

    My Z-Scale SD45

    The SD45 is 95mm long and 15mm wide, I don't know if you have a N-Scale SD45 for comparison :) I do have the same 6-wheel diesel locomotive in N and Z scale!, same colors and type, if I putt those together you can really see the difference between the scales, I don't have a digital camera at...

    My Z-Scale SD45

    The digicam is from a friend, I believe it was a Canon, I'll ask for the right name. The drives are new, and yes these locomotives are brass.

    My Z-Scale SD45

    I've been Autocad'ing for a few hours :) And this is what I came up with, it's a nice base, maybe I add a extra yard, but I'll have to gather more information about Z scale buildings.

    My Z-Scale SD45

    Great to hear, I need all the help I can get :) I forgot to mention that these locomotives have brushless engines and are so silent that you can only hear the gears and the wheels tapping on the rails. Now this is an old track design of my first 2 modules I'm going to build (305x80cm)...

    My Z-Scale SD45

    I want to show off my Z-Scale SD45 here :), I got it for a few months, the track isn't ready yet so it's waiting in my vault. To bad it was broken, here a closeup of the truck, can you see the damage? But no worries, I think I can get a replacement truck. It's still a amazing...
