Basic plans for the Stru-Z model railroad were completed this week, and construction has begun on the 60 by 30 inch, Z-scale model. 'Z' is the smallest of all scales in model railroading with the average train car measuring just under 3 inches long, and having an axle width of under 3/8 inch. The model will consist of two separately running trains, one scenic passenger line, and one freight line. Together they will cover over 50 feet of {track;} over 2 scale miles. Railroad tycoon Jonathan Struhs estimates that the project will last at least two years, and although he refused to comment on the cost, there is speculation that it will be hundreds of dollars. Track plans and photos of the layout will soon be available at the Stru-Z Model Railroad Gallery. Mar 28 00, 1:44 PM
