Any miniature railway enthusiasts here? I am looking for a supplier other Z gauge Locomotives, Rolling Stock, Tracks and extras here in Aotearoa . I have found N gauge but no Z gauge.

I want to build a layout that can fit in a suitcase or army trunk. We will be able to take it away in our caravan, Z gauge would be perfect but could be done with N gauge.

You probably have to source Z scale from overseas. It's so niche that I doubt you find much here in NZ.
possibly Oz?
Even HO and N are not that reasonably stocked here especially in the rolling stock as there is so many variables that no one will stock a rarely sold item.

No problem ordering from USA. But quite easy to hit the 1K import triggers....

On Trademe there are occasional offerings of Z-scale trains and models (search for Marklin). You can also try toottoot.co.nz. Not sure how much stock they have, but they are a dealer.

I think I need to get my son who lives in London to pick up some kit for me.
