Greetings All:
I am relatively new to Z scale, although I have modeled in almost everything from G to N over the years. I have been adding quickly to my collection of Z scale equipment, currently 3 locomotives and 20 cars, all of which to date are AZL products. I have noticed that a few of the AZL product offerings are sold only in 4-Pack sets. While I can understand that for some equipment, like the Bethgon Coalportes, that would virtually never be operated as single cars; I am surprised to see equipment that would often be operated as single units IE: 60’ Gunderson High Cube boxes, sold only as a 4-Pack. I have done a fair amount of web searching looking for a dealer that may offer these cars as a single car purchase but have yet to locate one. I was just curious to know if this was some kind of usual practice in Z Scale, as I had not personally encountered it modeling in other scales.
BTW… I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and level of detail of the AZL equipment and I am looking forward to the creation and operation of my first Z Scale layout.
Thanks for reading and regards,
Cliff
