I am not aware of anyone offering what you are searching for, but I know what you are looking to achieve. To that end, I use AnyRail trackplanning software, which allows me to print out any Rokuhan track configuration in 1:1 scale (and then piece it together from multiple A4 sheets). I have the (inexpensive) fully-functional version that can be purchased, but you can do quite a bit of things with the free version too. Maybe this helps.

Those prototype specific details are awesome. BTW, the RS3 looked really smart in the Southern's paint scheme... hint, hint ;-)

Planted 79 of those (in)famously cheap eBay trees from China on my 22" wide module. Naturally, they all look the same and not like much on their own, but grouped together in different sizes and hues the overall effect isn't too bad. Attachments:

Cool idea :-) I put down the double track girder bridge on my (as yet unfinished) creek module and did a first test run. So far, so good. Bridge is Rokuhan, loco is the wonderful AZL E8.

These awesome passenger cars have me wondering - will we be getting a C&O E8 to pull them? Or more generally put: are there any plans for a second run of the E8 with new paint schemes?

I got my first Z scale items - a complete Märklin Amtrak train with F7 - when the largest toy store in Zürich dropped Z and had all items marked down by 50%. Salesman told me it wasn't selling and that basically Z was doomed. Funny thing is: that was back in 1990. Go figure ...

Wonderful - visited the C&O Heritage Center in Clifton Forge Va last month, so this is a great buy for me 😉 thanks AZL

Did some digging and found this - not my own work but probably as close as you an get to DKS's original parts list.

I got my first Z scale items 25 years ago. I was at university then, so I still have some modelling mileage left... 😉 Back then, it was only F7As and not a huge variety of paint schemes to choose from, so looking at Z today I'd say there's never been a better time to model in this scale, thanks to all the suppliers big and small. AZL of course has totally changed the game here, and it's not like they're calling it quits. To me, like Rob has been saying it's a good time to catch up with some things I haven't bought so far because I was waiting on what the next bi-weekly release might bring. I will certainly continue to model in Z and support AZL.

I got one and turned it into a N&W unit - if the undecorated shell would have been black I would even have gotten away with just using (N scale caboose) decals ... 😎
