Ok folks, I bit the bullet and I am building four z tack modules, not sure if they will be z-
bend or t-trak style. The current plan is to hand lay he track and coming from N-scale I need
some pointers on several dimensions.
1. Is there a commercially available track gauge one can obtain?
2. What rail sizes are typically used Code 40 /50/ other?
3. Turnouts frogs will be 5 for the yards and 7's or 9's on the mainline. What are the typical
ones used in Z-scale?
3. Coming from N-scale I have several track gauges that indicate clearances for the tunnel
portals and bridges etc. what are the equivalent clearances for Z gauge?
4. My locomotives consists of One MTL F7's A-B-A set, three MTL gp 35's and z-theks
SW1. I plan on converting these over to DCC with Lenz Gold decoders, any hints and tips?
5. What DCC track voltages should one use, I will have a Digitrax zephyr unit as my
command station, Left over from N-scale.
6. Where can one find decals for prr. I plan on painting the sw-1 to pensy.
As I get into this deeper I know I will have more questions.
Thanks
