#z scale

Ive been getting into model trains lately. Specifically Z-guage, which is 1/220 scale. Here's my first full-length train. It's a model of the E6 series Shinkansen.

During a review of fine secondhand items available from Mandarake's online shop (if you've never heard of Mandarake and are a fan of contemporary Japanese culture, you're in for a treat!) I came across some 'Railway Fan Vol.2 SL Scene Figure' items which looked like model railway dioramas. They only had boxed photos of them but as they were a bargain ¥500 each, I decided to make a speculative purchase to investigate!

The one that I bought was of an SL at a coal loading stop. I wasn't sure what scale it would be and hoped it would be N gauge, so I could use it with my other models.

It turns out that it's actually Z scale and to demonstrate that, I've included my Z Shorty train in the photos (not included with the diorama set!).
