Henri of ZoCal (Southern California group) frequently grabs a lot of his modules (Z-Bend Track format) and goes to just about any train show or event. He's a prolific builder and techinacl. Has some HUGE ships too.

Thank you. BAZ BoyZ are a pillar of inspiration. Once again, left in awe. The likes of that video ever to venture east of the Mississippi?

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing! How many trains do you run at one time?

This is the ZoCal (Southern California) group, that Henri is a member of. The original Modules were Z-Bend Track, built by Lajos Thek to start, adding others rapidly, to make eventually large modules (X, T, Bends, Ends and the huge 19’ 3-piece yard). Those modules have been far North (Sacramento, Portland) and East (Salt Lake City and Denver).
All of those modules have the Z-Bend Track interconnect but are built in varied angles and most with larger radii (like our BAZ (San Francisco Bay Area Z, but really more NorCal). None of these will make the long trip, I am sure.
Henri really likes to run trains he has a lot of creativity so started building classic ZBT (short straights, standard radii [195, 220] ) that stacked easily in the back of pickup truck. Then more bigger themes (steel foundry, etc.) then the 5* Beach/Sailing ship Amusement Park with premium lighting, then a virtual city on a Wye with a river and then some HUGE Cargo and Military ships.
Normally I see 10, 15 to 20 or so cars; frequently swapping out. He normally posts on Vimeo.

Henri's latest on Vimeo (from a show in Hemet).
Space was limited, so the layout
had fewer modules.

I should clarify. Henri shot this video & most of the trains are his, but the location sort of dictated we only brought ZoCal group modules. Henri's stayed at his home.

Is this a DC or DCC layout? Thanks for sharing!!! DCC. All of the voltage & AC encoding is carried thru the rails & joiners only - no supplemental wiring under the layout. |
