This is the first time I've read this post and all I can say is...........WOW, FANTASTIC, INCREDIBLE!!! You've done an excellent job and have included details that are often overlooked in larger scales. The fact that you've done this in Z scale just makes it even more amazing!
Again - thank you for this comment. As far as small details are concerned: Special sign showing the place where the front of the train must be located in the front of the turnout to provide enough space for the train using the other track.

I will second Bob's remarks. What an absolutely charming layout! Thank you for showing us "how it's done". Mark in Oregon
I did not expected someone to find this old layout. That was my first serious job in Z-scale and ... training area. I did not expected thatIt will be possible to turn into more realistic and prototypical modules based on Polish location .... Anyway - thanks for the comment.
This all looks fantastic. What are you using for cement and ground cover? I was planning on using Woodland Scenics materials, but I'm worried they are geared more towards HO layouts.
I did not expected that someone will find this old story of Zellin module... I am not sure (English is not my mother tonque) what you mean by cement ? I think you refer to this area where the wood is loaded. This one was done using acrylic putty for wood (Polish brand).Ground cover (green) is done mostly using Woodland Scenic fine turf. In case you are interested in getting reference number of the product please let me know. I will try to check. I belive I still have original packaging.

Hi Pawel, Do you happen to have an email address for Komi Miniatures? I would love to order the nativity scene on their website for my Christmas layout. Unfortunately, I don't speak any German. Google translate is helpful, but the website is somehow blocking the contact email address. Many Thanks, Ray
Pawel, I read through your build. I enjoyed the thread and your pictures. Great little layout! I don't know why I didn't notice your link at the bottom of your posts. Scott
