    My Z-Panzer scale test car from Ztrack Center was delivered yesterday. This is a great model. I ordered mine in black so the pictures don't really do it justice. The details are much finer than they appear here. The couplers/trucks are held in with friction so its easy to repair, upgrade or change out the parts.

    Hey how about a few more pictures of your layout? Your track work looks great and your road crossing is fantastic!

    Thanks. My layout is a 8" x 30" Inglenook switching puzzle. It's mostly been grass and tracks for the past couple of years. I"ll be adding more buildings and scenic details over the next few months.

    Nice! I’m impressed! You did a great job of weathering and blending the MT track. That really is a great looking set up. Also like the control panel

    This post makes me so happy. I’m quite proud of this release. I have been wanting to offer these cars for some time. Z-Panzer did an amazing job. We do have them in stock including yellow ones. :)

    The Northern Pacific had one in Black. Although I do not plan on modeling anywhere near the shop yard where it was kept, I want one because it looked exactly like that model.

    This is by far the best modeling and use of the NSM background factories that I have seen yet! I love how you’ve blended the NSM 3 story warehouse in with the Kibri factory and added the more modern NSM concrete warehouse to the scene as if the owners of the old facility expanded and modernize their business. It’s a great scene! Well done. John
