This layout tour remaster comes from The Great Train Show in San Jose on February 26, 2017. The Great Train Show features all kinds of railroad-related memorabilia as well as several modular layouts.
Having seen The BAZ Boyz in Sacramento and Pleasanton prior to this show, it was my privilege to get a video tour of their modular layout. Several of the modules in the layout are award winners, and you will be able to see why in this video.
Come along as we take a look at the San Francisco Bay Area Z Scale "BAZ Boyz" modular layout!

I remember seeing my first Z-scale setup. I was used to HO and the next one down or so. Id never seen such a small railroad and so detailed. It was in a giant local mall and the model train store wasn't there but about a year or two. But it was wonderful.
N scale the next size down from HO then Z
@@ryans413then T after Z
Z scale has come a long way. Beautiful layout. Well done.
Absolutely amazing, anyone who can build Z scale should win an award
What about T scale?
I agree.
The level of detail is incredible from the mountain faces to the gator mauling a person
During the description of the scenes, I forget the scale is so small until the narrator points with his finger. It throws me off if every time the relatively enormous finger comes floating in. This type of detail makes you forget just how small Z scale really is.
Good ole Florida.
😳
Afterthought, you really needed the HAND OF GOD toshow you every now and then what actual size / scale you were looking at. Without the giant finger and thumb, you would be hard put to it to guess what actual size it is. Superb.
Agree!
*Laughs in the third rail of O scale*
I have never seen this level of detail in Z scale. Even in N scale, it is rather hard to find.
Retirement goals!
As a 32 year old I couldn't imagine scratch building Z scale. I work with N scale and that's hard enough.
22 year old here. I only have space for Z scale due to my limited living space. Im scared to even start when I see this as I am building my collection up atm. But I'm going for German inspired layout.
Yeah man makes me glad I chose O scale lol
For real. Definitely is more intimidating going for the smallest scale in the hobby. Especially considering the lack of abundance in all aspects of build.
Man, Z would do me in for sure..I did n scale for a lot of years along with Ho, but I’m 43 now, I’ve got kerataconus and a astigmatism (could be worse I guess😂), but I’m leaning a little more on Ho these days.. yeah, enjoy your vision while you have it!!!
@@bannanapancake yeah recently I moved to HO scale, I didn't realize the items I wanted really wouldn't be available in N scale. Modeling about 1913, at least in HO there are plenty of kits and steam engines.
My goodness I wouldn’t have thought that level of detail possible at that size. I felt like I was going to break those things just by looking at them.
I have a hard time with O scale anymore!
This is as good as it gets, hats off to you, to have locomen on board is awesome. Its my major gripe with the larger scales that there is population at large but no passengers or train crew. Blows me away ( from a retired BRITISH RAIL train driver). I can only presume you have won lots of medals, you deserve them. Terrific.
Z scale trains always look big in videos.
Every time his finger came into the frame, I was reminded just how tiny this is. I’m still blown away that anyone can make stuff so detailed at that teeny tiny scale.
You need to watch a gold smith set tiny stones in metal.
I'm from Venezuela, it is almost incredible, but wonderful to see this side of model train layout. You should call yourself the AVENGERS of Z Scale trains layout. You guys do miracles in making those layouts WUAOOO. Like we said in my coutry .
Now ZED Scale is something I might actually have room for.
I know a Friend that had a Nscale now Runs Z Scale and Does a Very Nice Job on his layout love when I try to wrap my head on his Layout.
Incredible the technology and design to accomplish such a tiny layout and here I am was happy with my first HO scale set
incredible ! your use of laser cutting and 3d printing is impressive , and your group's attention to detail is amazing . WOW !
You need a bigger like button.
You've got climbers. Right on
What a collection, immense amount of time and invention used here...incredible modelling
Awesome to see this beautiful series of modules. Wow!
Amazing detail!
Wow this is fantastic! Z scale, you guys are amazing.
Incredible work has gone into this....time and patience..wow
man those things are SOOOO tiny and yet look better than a lot of O scale stuff...i thought HO was as small as could make sense and look good, and MAYBE an extra N scale loop for perspective forcing. This is crazy well done
This is just awesome! I would love to visit this place.
Absolutely incredible!!! Real talent with such a small scale.
Z scale!!?!? Man that’s patience right there. I didn’t even know that there was even a decent selection of motive power and rolling stock. If it did man the modeled distances must be super nice
Just incredible! Thank you so much for posting this beatiful Z scale video! Amazing skill and workmanship!
Wow 👌 Great job. These are some great z scale layouts!!! Thanks for Sharing ❤️
Z scale never really caught on in the UK when it was introduced. Now that the technology is better it's time to try again. You can get a great Z layout into a space where OO could only fit a simple plan.
Very Impressive and I love your use of magnets!!!
Simply amazing and no matter what scale. It can be amazing
Awesome z scale! I Like the buildings
George
This looks interesting Finally there will Be Train shows Coming out And my Wife and I Are looking forward to going to it. Yeah!
Beautiful layout! Thank you John for sharing. The detail is amazing! - Joey
This Island Earth is one of my favorite movies.
Amazing what you have accomplished. It is already difficould building in N-scale but this is mind-blowing. Thanks for showing. Greetings from the Netherlands.
VERY NICE JOHN, make me want to get into Z scale now....thanks for sharing....Jack
Great!!!!
Thanks for sharing this video and information
Great video. While I model N scale I really like Z scale. Thanks for sharing.
: OUTSTANDING : All Aboard, may the rails be with us. 🐢 🚂 🐢 👍 🐢 😀
I do n scale stuff but I think I like Z scale the most. You can do so much more with a tiny scale.
AWESOME, EXCELLENT and PERFECT!!!!! I enjoyed it very much!!! Amazing what can be done in Z-scale. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Wow so cool John! Thanks for sharing! Happy Modelling! Hans ...
Huge money here.
One word "AMAZING"
You really sound like you've been on radio yourself. You have that kind of voice.
Great video about layout and world building for any scale.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant love Z gauge
The layout is amazing.
I’m very impressed seeing this layout. I am in O Scale narrow gauge so it’s quite a difference.
How do you clean your rails? The smaller the scale, usually the more difficult it is to keep trains running.
Rail erasers for z scale is what I use. Marklin also makes a rail cleaner locomotive but that's only for german inspired layouts
Wow didn't think those little engines could pull that much rolling stock
Very nice Layout !
The tiniest trains in the world.
Was that a DPU at 10:48 until 10:55 in Southern Pacific colors? I didn't know they used smaller units as such and, all the DPUs I have seen have been GEs. That doesn't mean a thing though because I'm sure I have seen it in the big EMDs like Mac70? or whatever it is called.Nice layout, it is truly an award winning place. You guys are the best at what you do and , you all are an inspiration to us all.
Outstanding!
Glad you like it!
I agree with you on the z scale saying. if you see it buy it:)
Wow, was gunna do n scale since z seemed too small to look realistic. But man, this video proved me wrong, those locos look like they run smoothly too.
Killer Music. Great video.
Guau una gran maqueta escala Z , sus vagones y sus maquinas los detalles de graffiti en los boxcars . Se tardaron demasiado en hacerla . Los trenes escala Z son mas chicos que el N . Cambios electricos , vias flexibles y rectas encarriladoras .
amazing
Awesome. Keep up the good work.
Judging from the lettering on the side of the layout, some of what is displayed is not Z scale.
Amazing! Very nice video.
Those trains are cute tiney little things
Well done
Wow!
Pricey but neat.
O scale your like it’s not big until you see HO next too it. HO your like it’s not big until you see N next to it. N scale your like it’s not big until you see Z right beside it.
This layout tour is the best I every seen
A lot of the buildings and landscapes were probably painted using a pin.
Wow - Rodger is a master craftsman! (Robert?)
I gonna buy Z scale trains for my collection . Engines and freight cars .
I have N scale trains .
GP38-2 Santa Fe and U36B SeaBoard Coast Line engines .
in Canada, we call it ZED (Z) scale
I'm not sure how off micro machines cars would be as far as scale but it might be something to look into lol
Can you remember me the Z scale value?....is it 220:1???? many years ago I had a kit, big kit from MARKLIN from Germany , is it the same size?
The Bazinga boys.
Sometime I get confused N From Z I am Learning The Difference Slowly Bear with me But I like My N scale.
4:00 that is cool
Ok. But how well can you play a game of Battle tech on it? It's roughly the same scale. 1/220 for z gauge compared to the 1/285th scale for battletech. I know cgl upped it to 1/265, and no I don't care. It's still 1/285.
Great video, I've subbed
Isn’t this smaller than n scale?
Awesome work! I struggle with details in N Scale let alone even smaller!!!
Those characters are MINUSCULE. I don’t know how people are able to set those little figures up, I would lose them 100%.
I built an N-scale layout on a 2' x 4' board that I built into an eventual chest. Nobody was interested in buying it when I tried to sell it and it was pretty good, I thought, but of course nothing like that. Wow. How big is Z-scale? Half N? (which is half HO, which is half O).
N is 1:160. Z is 1:220.
How on earth do you fit a motor and a decoder in something that small??
I keep hearing “no longer available “. Is this because the owner died and no longer manufactures the item or did they go bankrupt because there was insufficient demand or simply a lack of interest? I’d like to try my hand at this scale but I’m reluctant because of this seeming “lack of availability”.
Could you guys advise what maker the ABB Sante Fe with passenger consist is? I didn't know MTL had a ATSF passenger release
Moar z scale please! Some of us still have to hide our sickness when the Mrs. is home
There is no way T scale could get this level of detail. Then again, I believed Z scale could never get this level of detail either.
I'm a Car Inspector for NYCTA. I inspect and repair the subway trains for the city. I've always wanted to get myself a small electric train set replica of either the Redbirds, R-62/62A R-142/142A R-38's any one of these would be great but the R-32/33 Redbirds are my favorite. Do you know if they make these in the Z Scale? If so where can I purchase them?
Sadly, I have not seen any subway trains available. There is very little available in Z, and when it sells out, usually it is never re-ran, so if you see it, get it, ot it will be gone.
If this Pendemic would End I would love to Bring my Wife to All the Train Shows we Went Before.
Is z turning into the new n scale? Try running 75 car trains on your ho scale railroad.
With the advent of neodymium permanent magnet motors, a lot more power can be made by tiny motors.
Never heard of Z scale. How does it compare size-wise with N and TT? (I'm old-school HO).
Thomas Ewing z scale is1:220. Nscale is 1:148 so another 50% smaller than N. N scale may range from 1:148 to 1:160 depending on what part of the world you are in
What is the company that makes the palm trees?
I want to do a pacific north west 1950s logging theme in Z scale. Any advice or direction?
Whatever you do, report back to all of us when the building begins and share photographs, videos, and information.
Wow! That scale size train is no bigger than my thumb! That's way too small a scale for my eyes, but so cool though!
Honestly though is this hobby dying ? I don't see kids playing with trains like they used to. . Such a great hobby too. L earning electrical carpentry engineering civil planning you learn so much from trains
No, it's not.
@@tsgmultimedia long as there's Rich old guys right
@@slimshady6359 There are a LOT of young people in the hobby.
@@tsgmultimedia well we're trying I'm just started a Club at the local boys and girls club they offered me up a room we'll see how many young folks are in the trains I know kids are into them I just don't think they can AFFORD them... What's they want to buy the cheap Tyco crap run them in a circle.
@@slimshady6359 I'm not even aware of where to buy Tyco any more. I think they stopped making electric trains a long time ago. Good luck with your club, in any case. You might want to adopt a more positive attitude if you want people to be interested in participating, though. Just letting you know that you came off as being very negative in this comment thread. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who picked up on that. Kids will, too.
When can we play battletech on that layout?
Was the freight house modeled after a prototype? If so, which one?
