Here is a bit of a broadside form another country. <br /> <br />1/ I dislike American G scale trains as they appear grosse to me. You would be lucky to give me one; however having said that i would kill to own a maroon LGB Mogal 29192, with full digital control, smoke and full digital sound ( retail in Aus $ 2,000 plus) yes and I would pay that for one if I could get Doreen to agree. I think Mikado's are the pits just about useless to operate on a normal backyard track. <br /> <br />2/ Briti***rains don't do much for me either, nothing can come near an LGB DR Mallet for power qnd sheer class. <br /> <br />However in the real world I would like to hear from anyone about a train that will equal the mighty Australian "Ghan". It goes from Adelaide to Darwin a distance of 3000 KM in three days, pulling a comprise 3 km long. It is not a dream from the past, it is a new train on a new track crossing a continent from south to north and it has the longest straight strech of north south line in the world. Guess where the longest and second longest stretch of straight rail is, across the Nullabor Plains, thousands of kms and no trees. <br /> <br />So if you want to talk about real mens trains think about the Ghan. <br /> <br />It has passenger carriages as well, and you can party all the way if you like as well. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds <br /> <br /> <br />Thunder from Down Under.
