Any one that is using this track who is NOT using the Marklin or European piece?

The other piece is the Arnold Uncoupler which I don't need.

Would gladly pay for the piece.
Thanks,
Kian

Tim? The Nelson Grey cars are identical in size to the Micro Trains versions that resulted when the moulds were sold or transferred to Micro Trains What I saw in the two pictures was a crude silicon copy of a possibly a nelson grey car minus the metal under frame? trucks, and brake wheel. The same Injection moulds were used for both Nn3 and Z nominally? 30ft in Nn3 40ft in Z? these measurements taken with my scale rulers for N and Z respectively. I visited numerous times in Nelson's basement shop, and what I saw in you photos was not even close to what I saw as scrap in his reject bin, material which was later ground up and the plastic reused. He used both black and brown plastic. At 10.00 each I can provide numerous samples with micro trains trucks and couplers and metal wheel sets True nelson grey wheel sets still have a mould sprue? tag at the centre of the axle and a junkier wheel tan the Micro trains version. The truck frames were quite fragile and none lasted in operation on my layout past 7 years. The only visual signs of a difference between NG and MT cars is Micro Trains on metal under frame on MT cars, and the axle tag on NG wheel sets.
?

There likely are VERY few that have the Nelson Gray cars available. Since Micro-Trains purchased the molds, I would expect that their current 40' Gondola/Flat and Box car frame would be. I have dozens of imperfect frames I could dig up and send you 1 or 2 to test fit.

There was an article in Ztrack magazine a few years back with pictures (IIRC)

I Unzip'd the pix so that others can see, although it is only a look at a Gondola car. There is some noticeable warping.

I bought some Z scale spares on a well known auction site, thinking that they were Marklin ones. But when they arrived some of the metal underframes were marked N.K. Gray (Nelson Gray?) who was an early pioneer i both Z and Nn3 modelling. Among the plastic parts were some gondolas. Does anyone recognise them from the two photos I have attached as a ZIP file or can someone let me know the measurements of the Nelson Gray flatcars and gondolas in Z scale?
?

Pardon me, but I have the impression you both think too complicated...

I think you have the house-model and a picture. So measure the place where the photo should be apliccated. Open the photo in a program (Gimp, Showfoto, Photoshop or something similar), settings for measurement in your prefered system (metric or imperial - not dots or something like that) and than resize the photo with your measured results. Maybe you must crop your photo for saving the ratio between high and width. Otherwise you could get distortions.

Have fun und best wishes from the other side of pond

2021 National Train Show (NTS)? and PCR (Pacific Coast Region) Convention are CANCELLED

Announcement of Cancellation

Santa Clara, California—The host committee of the 2021 national convention of National Model Railroad Association, Inc., NMRA 2021 Rails By The Bay, announced today that it has canceled its convention that had been scheduled for the Santa Clara Marriott Hotel & Conference Center on July 4-11, 2021. A multi-day video virtual event—which will retain the name NMRA 2021 Rails By The Bay—is under development. “Planning and running a convention of this magnitude requires signing transportation and outside tour contracts plus having commitments from layout owners for tours and operations at least six months in advance,” said Ray deBlieck, chairman of the host committee. “Based on current government orders in Santa Clara County and the public health situation, we were unable to obtain commitments from bus companies and tour sites. Many key layout owners also wanted to wait and see how the situation developed before committing to tours or ops. We also could not determine what the allowable room capacity for in-person events would be. We had a timetable with milestones in January for certain commitments and we could not secure those commitments with the required lead time. But bright spots are that our committee has tremendous talent and we had numerous excellent clinic commitments.” Planning for a substitute video virtual event has begun. Tentatively scheduled to start July 6, the four- to five-day event will mix live and recorded video and will have virtual participation by clinicians and layout owners local to the Santa Clara area. Video clinics, layout tours, museum, and railfanning tours are expected, with Q&A sessions and layout owners’ panels to provide interactivity. Slack channels or breakout rooms are expected to allow live post-presentation discussions. The committee expects to cooperate with the successful NMRA-X virtual meeting team. More detailed information is expected to be released by April 2021. The convention Registrar will contact all convention registrants in the near future and offer an opportunity to register for the July 2021 video virtual event at a $49 fee (covers all days), donate their registration fees to NMRA, or receive a full refund. The planning committee draws members from 21st Century Limited, a California nonprofit corporation that successfully ran NMRA’s highly regarded 2011 and 2001 national conventions, as well as local modelers and operators. Pacific Coast Region of the National Model Railroad Association, Inc. is a co-sponsor. NMRA’s 2022 national convention is under continued development. The National Train Show, which is separately planned and operated, also is canceled. ? ? MEDIA INQUIRIES:?publicity@...
