The Pine Creek Railroad in Z scale is a true modeling adventure. Begun 4 January 2010, it will be a considerable challenge since the real Pine Creek Railroad in New Jersey on which it's based is three-foot narrow gauge, and to my knowledge no one models American narrow gauge in Z scale. Virtually everything will have to be scratchbuilt, including the track, locomotives and rolling stock; without doubt it will be an exercise in pushing the Z scale modeling envelop—hard! Follow along with the adventure in real time.
