You think it'll get around your layout Vic? [(-D][swg]

QUOTE: The LGB Genesis is in stock @ Trainworld


"In stock???" I doubt it. Being that it was just announced last week, it's likely not even on the water yet. I didn't see it listed anywhere (Yes, I looked. Sucker to me!) And if they are advertising as such, I'd stay far away from sending them a check!

If it is indeed to a "real" scale, (As real as 1:29 gets) I think it will do very well, perhaps serving as a harbinger of better things to come from the big red box. One can only hope they've decided to get back in the game of model (not toy) trains.

Later,

K

Well it IS from LGB so the R1 rule applies....BUT my layouts clearences are designed around the Porter engine, not this, sooo while curves are no biggie but the planned tunnel would get plugged up like a stopped drain. [:D]

Where are the Superliner cars to go with this??????[;)]

What is LGB Genisis, living off the beaten track and not being allowed out too much I have no idea what it is.

Thanks Jack I already knew about it and it was of no interest to me just another over oversized American monster. Looks nice though.

I tell you what has grabbed me and i will get one when I can; the 23900 Henschel MTs duo. Now theres something to get interested in not just a big hunk of simulkated tin.
It can actually do something could really make shunting fun.
