Re: First Modules As Z-BendTrack standard from Finland
The Norway Zmod group has many modules that are somewhat compatible with the ZBT, although just 1/2 deep (front to back). The 2 tracks are same along the front and another of the module could be placed behind, looking like ZBT.
This 25 year old Z-Bend Track has not really be used for a long time. They are almost exclusively use by local groups. Many are just building what they want, especially smaller, more portable or ‘home’ use, like?T-Trak. (??) This is why you do not see may posts on this sight.
Trainboard has a much more content and world-wide users. |
Trainini is an international magazine (free) published in Germany (in English) world wide contribution.

Re: Just discovered this list
A long time I ago made a range of "Z" track parts, (see above) but the only activity I had was from larger scale narrow gaugers.

Re: Just discovered this list
This forum is the Yahoo forum migrated over to groups.io.
Yes, very little activity...
You might contact the club closest to you for their techniques.

Re: Hello is anyone out there?
I can help.
When I first read the document, I found some minor inconsistencies in the original specs that should be cleaned up. ?
Additionally I posted a .pdf of the the end plate that could be reference or appended to the text.

It has been a long time since this forum has been used. I am seeing who is still out there. I have been recently working on the Z-Bend standards, especially with the use of sectional track. I think it is time the 2004 standards are updated to reflect the new options of track on the market. I am looking for a few folks to work with me to review and update the standards. Anyone interested? Let me know!

Hi Larry,? ? ?I just started a subscription to Railroad Model Craftsman and received the first issue a week ago.? I will be looking forward to seeing the magazines as I bought many used copies of Model Railroad at the Huntington Beach Friends of the Library and always find something interesting in them.

I received you check today but to late to get the package to the post
office.
I will send it Monday. Since the box was a lot of air, I included 12
issues of Railroad Model Craftsman to fill it up.

Hi Larry, ? ? ?I will put the check in the mail tomorrow and there is no hurry about getting the cables as I am a long way from hooking up the wiring.? I am using a resistance soldering unit to make a double bascule bridge for my new Z-Bend type module. David A. Smith

David, I like the thought of you dropping by with the money but you will
have to like driving thru the desert to get to me in San Antonio, Texas.
Just to let you know, that I have not done an electrical check on these
cables so using a multimeter on them to check everything out.
$23.45 will cover it.
