	Z scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The low weight of Z scale locomotives contributes also to their difficulty to pull trains uphill and in practice the grade should be kept rather moderate.
		Tungsten powder and lead are popular choices among Z scale enthusiasts for this purpose.
		Z scale enthusiasts throughout Europe and North America participate regularly at most national and regional model railroad exhibitions and shows, where they have demonstrated the outstanding operational and layout design characteristics of the scale.

	Ztrains: Z Gauge, Z Scale, An Introduction
		Narrow gauge prototype railroads are defined as railroads with a distance between their rails of less than 4 feet, 8.5 inches.
		Z scale trains operate on standard gauge track as the distance between the rails in Z scale is an accurate representation of prototype standard gauge track (at 1:220 the size of course).
		Z scale track is also referred to as 6.5 mm gauge track, as that is the exact distance between our Z scale rails.

	CERN Courier - The W and Z at LEP - IOP Publishing - article
		The properties of the Z boson and the underlying electroweak theory were studied at LEP by measuring the overall formation cross-section, the forward-backward asymmetries of the leptons and quarks, and the polarization of tau leptons.
		The gauge symmetry theory was introduced by Hermann Weyl as the basic symmetry principle of quantum electrodynamics; the scheme was later generalized by C N Yang and R L Mills to non-abelian gauge symmetries, before being recognized as the basis of the (electro) weak and strong interactions.
		The prediction of gauge cancellations is clearly borne out by the LEP data (see figure 8), thus confirming the crucial impact of gauge symmetries on the dynamics of the electroweak Standard Model sector in a most impressive way.

	Narrow Gauge Railways
		It is all too easy to dismiss the narrow gauge railways of Britain as insignificant, and perhaps in a sense they are, however each surviving railway represents a fascinating and unique piece of history with a well earned place in our countryside.
		While our main line railways have been forced into dull uniformity by the practicalities of being a part of a larger whole, their smaller cousins retain their individuality, and with it their charm, which can be a delight to young and old whether railway minded or casual visitor.
		The narrow gauge has much to offer and it would be a shame to leave an area boasting a narrow gauge railway without paying it a visit.

		Märklin is responsible for the creation of virtually every popular model railroad gauge or scale, with only noteworthy exceptions being N scale and Wide gauge.
		Märklin followed with O gauge (by some accounts as early as 1895 or as late as 1901), H0 scale in 1935, and the diminutive Z scale in 1972 — this is the smallest commercially available scale, 1:220.

	N Gauge Society Home Page
		The N Gauge Society was formed in 1967 by a small group of N Gauge modellers from West Yorkshire, supported by the late Sydney Pritchard, the founder of the present day Peco Railway Models.
		The Society's aims then, as now were to promote the gauge and encourage active participation in N gauge railway modelling.
		In the late 60's, the Society campaigned for British N gauge standards as, at that time, we were reliant on foreign manufacturers and Lima in particular were producing models that were hopelessly out of scale with coaches at 1:160 and wagons at 1:140 (their locomotives were even worse).

		The most common are On30 and HOn30, but three-foot gauge appears in On3, Sn3, HOn3 and even the challenging Nn3 scale, while large scale is recognized with a couple of 1/32 (or thereabouts) layouts.
		This site agrees with that sentiment, and only models representing a gauge of 3-foot or less are presented.
		This site has been prepared with permission of all of the layout owners, many of whom have opened their house to me on multiple occasions in order to properly document their layout, have forwarded digital images to me, or have entrusted me with their personal photographic prints for scanning.
