Introducing two new Z scale models

I would like to introduce two new models into the world of Z scale, the Counterweights used for tensing switch and signal cables (Weichenspannwerk and Signalspannwerk respectively). If you are not familiar with European railroads, here's brief explanation. European signals and switched (at least ones switched manually) are controlled through a set of cables. The counterweights are used to ensure that the cables maintain tension.

The models are available through Shapeways.

If you are looking to add details to your European themed Z scale layout check them out at:

shpws.me/nLN7

If you decide that you do like them, you can order them from Shapeways.

Personally, I must admit that designing these two was a lot of fun
