Good fora for Z gauge?

[Beaver]

So there were some good prices on Rokuhan stuff in Akiba recently and I couldn't resist and now I have a JR 113 and a Tobu 500.

 

Must say that the quality of finish and running of these models is superb, better than Tomytec and other lower end N gauge. And I can run modern main line EMUs on double track in the space of a couple of tea trays on a little TV table! 🎵

 

I know there are a few Z gaugers on this forum, hello to you all. I was wondering if any of you also frequent any good fora dedicated to Z gauge as that would probably be a better place to discuss and ask about the technical aspects of the scale.

Humm... the only z-specific forum I'm a member of (actually the only one I'm aware of ) is https://f.z-freunde-international.de/index.php.

But although it carries international in the name, it's at least 99% in German lingo...

Thanks MichiK!

 

I did actually used to be quite good at German, though have not used it for years. Wonder how much I actually remember.....

 

The only English language dedicated Z forum I found is the apparently American based ZScaleCentral, but that seems almost abandoned, with many first page threads last posted in over 5 years ago.....

If Rokuhan are smart they should start a Rokuhan forum like AZL do in the U.S (with an English language section obviously)
