Michelangelo’s Z Scale???
Long story short, there was a time in my life that I was an art history major. I still love the arts and am an admirer, if not an artist on a long sabbatical. Today I was thinking about Michelangelo’s Sistine chapel, and specifically ‘The Creation of Adam’. In this portion, God’s finger is outstretched from the heavens and preparing to touch Adam’s hand, thus giving him life.
Wow, it then occurred to me that it was a good thing Michelangelo wasn’t a Z scaler. Okay, go with me on this one. Forget that fact that electricity wasn’t around, let alone trains... but for the sake of this perspective, let’s warp the time-space continuum...
Read the rest of this month's Trackside Perspective in the current issue of Ztrack Magazine.
American Z Line American Z Line is the industry leader in Z scale locomotive motive power for the North American market. AZL's releases of brass and injection molded locomotives feature an 8mm Faulbauber motor, dual flywheels and directional lighting. AZL locomotives and rolling stock have set the standard for detail and performance. From steam to modern diesels, AZL continues to expand their line and excite the Z scale community. |

Swiss Z Line Swiss Z Line was founded with the goal to meet the niche market of Swiss Z scale locomotives and rolling stock. SZL's first release of the brass Re 4/4 IIs immediately filled a long standing need in modern Swiss locomotive power. Corresponding brass passenger cars and gravel cars offered Swiss enthusiasts all new options for rolling stock. SZL's goal is to expand the line to include locomotives and rolling stocks for other European markets. |
