SENT AN EMAIL OFF TO GRAY BROTHERS (Z SCALE ARTISTS EXTRAORDINAIRE!)

everytime i look on ebay at z scale stuff, i always run across the gray brothers creations.
amazing! these things arnt much bigger than a quarter (always shown in each picture) and they have such detail.


anyway, i looked up their website, found it, and even noted the email to email them.


sent the email off inquiring about how they can gauge what is a Z scale building, do they use any form of templates, are there any books, or resources they know of..


because i want to do some for myself.


i seriously didnt think my email would have even gotten consideration, to be honest. and if it did, i wouldnt hear from them for a while.


not even an hour went by and i got the notice (because i request one with every email) that my email had been read!


WOOOOO HOOOO!


now, all i have to do is wait on a reply!

Marklin: 1998 Christmas Car

hubby sent me a link to go look at this Z scale specialty car. said he thought it was of a nativity scene.
i collect nativities, so i HAD to go check it out.


couldnt tell, to me it looked like 5 wise men (instead of the 3 were always told about in the christmas stories) standing at a window of a bakery where santa was on the otherside, inviting them in for...cookies?


so, i took the name, and GOOGLED it (google is my best freind, im on that thing a hundred times a day searching out different things, love it!)


well, the name of the car sent me to another page (naturally, lol) and i found an entire selection of HO train stuff that could very well be in Z scale as well!
ill have to get each one of them!

looks like allot of them are in HO scale, and just a select few in actual Z scale, wel...i might just have to own HO stuff now....lol
