I'm seeing a common thread here, Marklin has come to town.... Sehr gut ! But, for my two cents worth, they are expensive. The Marklin is of the wonderful "Tin Plate" style and should be considered carefully..... G may stand for "Gross" (Big) Lehman Gross Bahn means Lehman Big Trains, or you may use it for "Garden" (Garten) . Regardless, thes "Large Scale" or "Garden Railroad" trains run on 45mm track. Some also use 32mm or even 16mm. This is the distance between the rails. The Scale is the size of the model in relation to the "Real" thing. Here's an easy one. 1/48 scale , this means that one inch equals four feet. Divide by 12. So, a 60 ft box car in 1/48 scale will be? Times out, 15 inches....... Fud's first rule of Fun, "Does it look Good to You? If it does, go with it. Have Fun with your Garden Railroad and don't bog down with too much High Rail, High Scale stuff... Get the best price you can on good out door rail, (NOT BACHMAN ! INDOOR ONLY !) Save your money and skip the Stainless Steel track for now.... Get a nice starter set from whom ever you choose, Aristo, LGB, Bachman, (except the track) USA Trains, the Garden Railroad mags are full of good advice and product reviews,,, (not seen one in regards to Marklin, Wie So?). Spend some time looking and then take the plunge, you will not regret it..... Best of Luck!
