What Is G-Scale?
Started by the German firm of Lehmann in the 1960s,
with a trade name of LGB (which translated means
Lehmann Big Railway), G scale is essentially the
modelling of narrow gauge railway on track 45mm
wide (the same as gauge 1, but to a heavier profile).
The quality and variety of LGB products is almost
legendary and such has been their success that many
other manufacturers have entered the scene, including
Playmobil in Germany, and Bachmann and REA in the USA.
G Scale products are long-lasting and reliable, and
generally weatherproof making them ideal for outdoor
operation. Some modellers run their stock straight from the box,
whilst others scratch build models, perhaps using a
LGB chassis. The choice is yours - we operate a broad church.
