Rappahannock Model Railroaders (RMR) December Model Train Show


 

I am a member of the RMR? and was wondering if there is interest in setting up a small Z-scale layout at our December 9-10, 2023 model train show at the Eagles Lodge in Fredericksburg, VA???

Recently I was given a box of Marklin Z-scale trains and track and this group is my only contact with the Z-scale model train world.? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Attached are photos of a very portable Z scale layout that I take to train shows.? It allows me to run 2 trains continuously.? It was put together with some old Marklin track and turnouts I had.? It is less than 4' wide and has plexiglas panels to thwart little fingers.? The kids love to see the train go through the tunnel.? This is pretty crude and was built in a couple of days, although I've gussied it up a little (e.g., planted a cornfield) over time.? I try to keep it local with a Hunt container in a stack car on the train and a Walmart truck I made on the highway. ?

Hi Dan,?

I'm down in NC, so that show would be bit of a haul for me. But you should contact the DC Z-Bend Track club. They are a Z-Bend modular group. Get ahold of Randy Smidt, randy@...
