An Excercise In Patience
“I guess I need to be a little more patient”. This single line has defined Z scalers since the beginning of time (or 1972). Patience, defined as an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay. Yes, that is us. How many of us have eagerly awaited a new product release, shipment or that long sought after item. I know I have.
Being in Z scale, I am just used to delays. For instance, I just received a Märklin,German DB AG class 120.1 electric locomotive. This locomotive is item 88480 and was a limited edition release from 2010. It is decorated for the 175 anniversary of railroads in Germany. Again, I just got it this past week... in 2012. That would be the 177th anniversary of German railroading. Interestingly, the box is adorned with the 40th anniversary of Märklin Z scale sticker which Märklin is celebrating this year. Frankly, I sort of forgot I ordered this locomotive....
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. |
