Z Gauge layout

Dec 05, 2005 3 Replies

Hello there



I'm new to building layouts.



I have got hold of a Noch Cortina board for Z gauge and need to lay the track. To buy all the seperate Marklin sections works out pretty expensive.



Do you think Peco flexitrack will be OK?



I'll still need Marklin for points etc. so will I be able to I it with Peco OK?



What about underlay?



Do you fix it down with glue or with pins?



Thanks a lot for any help you can give



Andrew



Last time I looked, Peco did not do Z gauge track. I would like to be corrected, though.

Hi Andrew

Indeed Peco only do Z track flexible and no points. Most people use cork as an underlay, but Microtrains comes with a road base, but then thats American track..

If I could be naughty and point you to a Yahoo Z scale group

this is one of if not the biggest Z scale group that I have come across and there is lots of useful information and they are a very friendly and helpful bunch, hope thats helps if you didnt know already.

The suggestion in my Peco catalogue is that you should use Märklin points: in fact they do (or, rather, did: the cat. is dated Jan. 2003) ballast inlays to fit them.
