Shop Z Scale train sets for sale, from starter sets to steam, diesel, freight, and passenger trains. Sets can include a locomotive with matching cars or complete packages with track, power, and controls—all in Z Scale's remarkably small footprint.
Explore Z Scale Trains, Marklin Z Scale Train Sets, or Model Train Sets across all scales. Changing new and pre-owned inventory can bring in used, vintage, discontinued, and hard-to-find Z Scale sets.
Z Scale train sets offer a compact way to start a railroad or add a coordinated train to an existing layout. Sets can feature steam or diesel locomotives with freight or passenger cars, while starter sets can provide more of what a new modeler needs to get a tiny railroad moving.
What's included varies from set to set. Some Z Scale train sets contain only the locomotive and matching cars, while complete sets may also include track, a transformer or power supply, and a controller. Check each listing carefully so you know whether you're buying a train-only set or a more complete package.
If you already have a Z Scale layout, a set without track or a transformer can be a practical way to add another complete train without paying for equipment you already own. For someone starting from scratch, a Z Scale starter set with track and the required power and control equipment can make getting started much simpler.
Pre-owned and vintage sets can vary even more. An older boxed set may originally have included track, a transformer, controller, instructions, or other pieces that are no longer present, so the individual listing is the best guide to exactly what comes with the set.
Trainz's Z Scale train set inventory may be small, but it can change as new and pre-owned collections arrive. That can bring in used sets, vintage trains, discontinued releases, new old stock, and occasional hard-to-find sets that may no longer be available through current manufacturer catalogs.
Older Z Scale sets can be especially worth watching if you're searching for a particular railroad, locomotive, passenger train, freight set, or Christmas train. At 1:220 scale, even a complete holiday railroad can make a big impression without taking over the room.
If you have Z Scale train sets or a larger model train collection you're ready to sell, Trainz buys qualifying collections that can include complete sets, locomotives, rolling stock, track, accessories, parts, and other Z Scale equipment. Learn how the process works at Sell My Trains.
