LGB Trains

 

LGB trains are great! LGB stands for "Lehmann Gross Bahn", which is German for "Lehmann's Big Railroad". LGB trains are big, as they are made in G scale, the largest of the commonly availble model train scales. LGB trains are sturdy, and are better able to withstand rough handing by kids than other, smaller scales. Unlike some G-scale trains, LGB model trains are made for both indoor and outdoor use. This makes LGB trains especially popular for use in Garden Railroads.

LGB Christmas Set

Getting Started with LGB Trains 

Starter sets are a good way to get started with LGB model trains. Starter sets generally have everything you need to begin running a train: engine, cars, track, power source and controller. As often times a starter set is something of a "loss leader" to get customers into the hobby, starter sets are usually an exceptional value with a price less than the sum of their contents if purchased separately.

LBG has nice budget-minded starter sets in both passenger-train and construction-train themes. Also, there are often exceptional prices for starter sets on eBay (just watch the shipping charges), so please do take a look at the eBay selections listed below.

LGB Track 

LGB brass track is super-sturdy track that can be used both indoors and outdoors. The LGB track also has holes for nails or screws in some of the plastic cross-ties, to allow for easily securing the track to bridges, planking or other surfaces -- to help prevent animals, children and the elements from disrupting the function of your G scale layout.

About funwithtrains

Hi, my name is Rob. Right now I have five lenses about model trains, a hobby of mine. I've also started to branch out into lenses for other areas of interest.
