How big is Z scale trains?
Z scale is one of the smallest commercially available model railway scales (1:220), with a track gauge of 6.5 mm / 0.256 in. Introduced by Märklin in 1972, Z scale trains operate on 0–10 volts DC and offer the same operating characteristics as all other two-rail, direct-current, analog model railways.
How fast is the Z train?
What is the difference between Z and N scale trains?
Scale is the size ratio between a real train car and a model, measured from end to end. If you're using a 1:160 scale, that means it would take 160 model trains lined up from end to end to equal the length of a real train car of that type. Since N scale is 1:160 and Z scale is 1:220, N scale is the larger of the two.
Can Z scale trains have sound?
There are a couple of other options for Z sound. 1. Surroundtraxx- This is a hybrid of stationary speakers and locomotive specific directional sound. Requires a Digitrax decoder with transponding.

What is the most popular train scale?
HOHO is by far the most popular model train scale in the U.S. and Canada. The HO scale ratio is 1:87.1. HO scale modelers tend to have the widest variety of models available for rolling stock, locomotives, and buildings.
