- Charlie and List, For research purposes, that is so I can keep track of the buildings as they move around and/or are built and razed, is there a gauge track smaller than N ? I know the next size down

- Z Scale is made in Germany by Marklin and in the US by MicroTrains. It is 1/220 proportion (N is 1/160, HO 1/87) but you will find it VERY expensive compared to N or HO. Galesburg has to work out lar

- DaleSince 1985 there has been no operational reason not to go N Scale. In general the quality level is higher than HO and N Scalers don't mind paying for stuff that runs well. I don't think about it
