These short production runs are just disgusting and the reason I left Z-scale. They are intentionally driving up secondary market prices for many of these items and not giving the normal train person a chance to even acquire one. AZL knows they could sell 2-5 times as many of these locos like the 25th Anniversary BNSF but choose to make so few. You would think AZL would be smart enough to make twice as many KNOWING they would still sell out. If a modeler isn't on a first name basis with AZL and their extremely limited dealer network, there is no prayer of getting these extremely limited run models. Disgusting.

Good evening...I found in my stash a GP30 that I purchased new a few years ago. If I recall, I tried running it but it didn't move. I am pretty sure that board needs to be reseated. I am asking $100 plus shipping. If interested, please send me a private message. Thanks for looking.

I had one of these a few years ago that I got in a large Marklin collection. It is mostly resin and pretty heavy. The detail was nice. The live water feature was definitely a draw at train shows and I never had an issue with water going anywhere out of where it was supposed to. If I ever moved the layout, I would drain the water and then refill the reservoir when placed where it was going.

Good evening, I have a small Z-scale layout for sale. The dimensions are 36.25 x 24.5. I bought this a few years ago and used it a little but not much. The builder did a really nice job with this. The track is Micro-Trains. There is one power feeder under the bridge that comes out the bottom. This can be shipped; I would use a picture box from U-Haul and reinforce it. I am asking $275 plus shipping for this layout. Please see the pictures and let me know of any questions. Thanks for looking. Attachments:

My opinion is that if things sell out immediately, AZL is losing out on sales, potentially, a lot of sales. I realize it is fine line between making enough but not too much. If more was made, it would slow down those secondary market prices. No one wants to pay inflated prices on the secondary market but in some cases but have no choice if they want something that sold out immediately.

This situation of things selling out immediately is one reason I left Z-Scale. These cars were obviously underproduced. I don't know if AZL is that bad at estimating how things will sell or if they are intentionally underproduced. It would make no sense to underproduce items but it happens very regularly. Maybe this is why some manufacturers, especially in N-scale, have gone to pre-orders. I can only imagine how frustrating this is to you Z-scalers.

Good evening, I have been going through a collection and found these metal Z-scale trucks. Did AZL ever make something like this as I thought I read someone where AZL trucks exist. Here are a few photos. I would like to get some info and a possible value because I will be selling them. Attachments:

I would buy a whiteface Burlington Northern one; a tiger stripe would be even better.

Good afternoon,
I have moved back to N-scale and am selling most of my Z-Scale. I have quite a bit of Burlington Route and a few other pieces. Locos are as follows:
AZL RDC TRE AZL CB&Q GP30 AZL CB&Q Heavy Mikado MTL SD40-2 Norfolk Southern
There are about 20-25 pieces of mostly CB&Q rolling stock. Most is MTL with some Full Throttle pieces as well. There are a couple of non-CB&Q pieces as well.
If you have any interest, please send me a PM and we can talk about prices. Thanks for looking.
