Home > Trains-Z Scale

Z scale (1:220) is the smallest commercially available model railway scale with its track gauge of only 6.5 mm. Z scale was introduced by the German model train manufacturer Marklin in 1972 at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. The scale operates on 8-10 volt DC and offers the same operating characteristics as all other two-track, direct-current, analog model railways. Z scale is predominantly a European scale, but has an increasing number of loyal followers in other parts of the world as well. Today Z scale, while still considered to be a curiosity by some, is a legitimate and mature modeling scale.
