Ztrack Magazine maintains the Z Scale Bolster Pin ID codes for members of the Z community. Painted bolster pins are used to identify car ownership. This is needed in a club and show environment where multiple individuals may be mixing equipment when running and displaying. Color can be registered for an individual or for a club. Color sharing is not allowed without the express permission of the other party. Colors will be assigned on a first come basis.
How it works: Each car has two bolster pins that are used to hold the trucks in place. By painting these pins specific colors, the car ownership can be easily identified. The chart assumes that the bolster pin is black. Black and no color are one and the same on the chart. Ztrack has registered no color/no color so any cars that don't have painted pin must be ours
I am in the process of updating the chart. We have opened a new category, gray. To view the existing chart, please visit:
