ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
I think you might find those things at Zscalehobo.com.
I was surprised, almost amazed to see that AZL makes Z scale challengers and a big boy!
I've been tempted to do a small Z layout for the heck of it but the prices can get a little out of hand.
