Well, I had no idea Z scale locos are that smooth.  I had imagined jack rabbit starts that would prevent switching.

Conditioning of early N, looks like. Z enjoys the benefit of N's advances: can motors + PWM throttles = Z scale switching.

And yet wide body locos crept in anyway, even with all that conditioning...

I actually can switch a little smoother. I run dcc and use the momentum feature to smooth out the stop and go.  I think Frank runs dc.

That 35 creeps so smooth , and over a turnout no less . It's the best I have ever seen in any scale . There is no reason a manufacturer couldn't re-truck that mech for a N Scale SW-1 or HH-600 .

Very expressionist.  Looks like you're getting some decent scale textures though.

I'm liking the look of that palm tree... might be time to do something in that arena!

As always, more photos!
