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.
