Can you get model buildings for Z gauge?
There are buildings out there for Z gauge layouts, but not in the same quantity or with the same variety as you would get for larger scales.
There's no doubt that Z gauge has got an established following of enthusiasts, but compared to that generated by larger and more traditional scales, it remains niche.
And that's where we are at with Z gauge, a much smaller following with a mirrored availability of products. If you are looking for Z gauge models, you will likely be able to source track, rail joiners and a token gesture of rolling stock from your local model shop, but you'll probably need to source a Z gauge specialist for anything beyond that.
