Hello.

For most EMD hood units, their hood width should be
8.3 mm in Z scale. Using 8 mm dia. motor in the hood,
the shell must be 0.1 mm in thickness where it meets
with motor's outmost.

In my case, I place the motor between fuel tank molds.
This method also allows to use one-side-shaft as is.
The drawback is I cannot build shorter locomotives
such as switchers.


Thanks.

I don't think that not having switcers would be much of a drawback. It would
be wonderful to see affordable GP-9's or 7's in Z scale. Maybe Micro Trains
will take up the cause someday. When that happens Z scale will have really
arrived!
