From the new issue of Ztrack Magazine:

Making The Move

The time has come to make a move. Since I assumed ownership of Ztrack in 1997, it has been very much a labor of love. Working out of the house, I have been able to enjoy my growing family while still maintaining the business.

During this period, Z scale has grown considerably, and so has Ztrack. Slowly, more and more of the house had been allocated for Z scale.

AZL / SZL trains

American Z Line

AZL logoAmerican 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

SZL logoSwiss 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.
