Stephen'z Miniature World. A Z gauge (spur Z) model railway in 1:220 scale.

I have been making model railways for over 40 years, starting with OO/HO scale, then N scale, before moving to Marklin Z scale around the year 2000.
I have an extensive 7 metre long layout in my home, and this video shows you the sort of thing that can be created.
Please subscribe to my channel to see further videos about my layout in more detail, and in due course I will be making videos showing how I made various elements of the layout.
All of the trains shown here are made my Marklin.
I have set up instagram account, search for smwmodelrailway

Amazing just started might be making a fictional diorama based on Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other states like that soon I use people like you for my inspiration!

Hi Stephen! Your layout is fantastic! I´m building layout in two times smaller scale (T-gauge 1:450) and I hope my layout will be at least nice and beautiful like yours. Thank you! Greetings from Czech Republic.

[@stephencranford1102]

Oh that's amazing!! Look forward to seeing pictures of your T scale layout. Thanks for your kind comments.

That is something really special, I think that most people are unaware of the fact that the largest passenger coach pictured is smaller than a Cuban cigar.

Thank you!

Fantastic my friend. Simply inspiring

[@ralphscott7978]

What a fantastic Z layout! So many trains Working. I have been doing this for about 25 years but this is the best I have seen so far. I am currently changing every thing to DCC and adding lights. Lights make a big difference.

[@stephencranford1102]

You're very kind, thank you Ralph

[@Bustedale]

Bloody awesome Stephen. Thanks. I'm just starting to build my Z gauge layout.

[@stephencranford1102]

Have fun with your layout Alan.. I'm pleased you like mine!

[@TimberSurf]

Cracking modelling, especially at that scale!

[@stephencranford1102]

Thank you!

[@TheStreethack]

Inspiring. I like the vertical nature of the setup. Good way to maximize track and scenery. Still in the planning for mine - i have significantly less room, but surplus ambition for the space that i do have for Z-scale, so this is a good way to make for an interesting table, relative to the laws of Physics and scaling, anyway in making a layer cake of a train table.. Bravo!
