Welcome aboard Matt,

Looking forward to seeing your work and collection. Nice to get new blood on the boards from time to time. Hopefully you'll take the time to decide exactly what you want out of Z and focus your efforts there. It's real easy in Model Railroading to get spread too thin and lose interest.

Cheers

Joe

Dragging them kicking and screaming to Z Scale, one at a time.

Thanks for all the reply's and PM's guys. I can't wait to post up my finished structures and progress so far. I've had a really busy day today sorry I got back to you all so late. Had to go out on a nice relaxing helicopter ride to relieve some stress, also to see things from an above view of some trains on LIRR from an over view to get some new ideas . Please keep messaging me about how to make Z everyone's first choice of model railroading! Together we can make the change. I'm really looking into prototyping now as said by another member, which will allow Z'ers to purchase built structures. This allowing them to save much time and money, making painting there only issue. I'm going to get together samples of everyone's work who has a strong foundation and show them in a diorama to my local investors. A new company could be born real soon! Blowing every other company out of the water!

I'm a newbie to Z and Trainboard. I've been working N scale for quite some time. I really love Z scale. I'm hoping to see it grow. Built up structures in Z would be great for those of us that don't have alot of time for kits. Seeing a new company with new products would be great. Glad to meet you and keep us updated.

Welcome Matt to the wonderful world of Z. Should you have the time, a drive down to Emmaus Pa could be fruitful. lv ron (a-k-a "Uncle Guido") conducts classes for newcomers to z scale. Courses like "Intro to Z 101" and "fundies of tracklaying 301" can get you off on the right foot. You may also meet other intelligentsia associated with Z Scale. Stay away from the PA lottery though, no big winners! Emmaus ( the "Athens" of Pa. is only 127 minutes from Times Square. Best, lv ron

Hey Mike my team is still working on some new things right now we are working on a vehicle line almost like a tomytek type line or releases. I'll p.m you with updates. We're also working on tugs, fishing/shrimping/crabing, and sport boats/jet skis as well.
Z soon to be the new N.

Congratulations on the lottery win.
But try to keep something for your old days, 54$mill. in 1 year is already a number.
Try to invest the rest and live from interest, even with currently 2%, is not so bad
Just from investor to investor.
Greetings

Armand
