[quote user="John Busby"][quote user="GearDrivenSteam"]Maybe it's just my inexperience here....but I've not seen much LGB makes that I really like. Their stuff looks too toy like for my taste.[/quote]Hi GearDrivenSteamMight be because they are toys LGB never claimed they where model trains. I am sure I have read in the catalogue they are top quality toy trains[?]still my prefered brand.If its the 4 wheeled stock remember that is or was common on the narrow gauge lines LGB made their trains look likeregards John[/quote] Hello John, Actually LGB claimed for many years the following:[quote][b][i]LGB Quality Fact[/b][/i]Compare LGB to other trains...[b]We research real trains.[/b] LGB trains are real replicas of real trains. We don’t just work from pictures or copy other models. Our experts travel around the world to research the world’s great trains, capture their finest details and record their actual sounds. So you get a real model railroad … not just a toy. This LGB loco is a replica of a real Swiss “advertising” loco. Even the loco’s “yodel” sound is reproduced.

Astonishing, isn't it?Since my equal half is a very careful shopper - we are building a IIm garden railway patterned on the RhB - he makes it a habit to compare the models to what the prototype runs. Measuring LGB "replicas" has been very "revealing", in the majority of cases they are "impressions" .... at best!Regards ER
