Hello Mike, <br /> <br />I'm very new to 'G' gauge as well and I made a valiant attempt to buy every New Bright loco in sight before I calmed down a wee bit. As I write this I have a 1:20.3 scale 2-6-2 loco by Heritage/Buddy L sitting on a few lengths of Bachman indoor track laid on the cleared layout board that used to carry my '0' gauge tinplate layout. Yes, that's right I fully intend to install a round the room sceniced test track in my bedroom. I think I'm going to stick to 1:20.3 despite its impressive size because I intend to model logging type tramways following New Zealand practice and most rolling stock was not especially large. I intend to rebuild my 1:32 scale New Bright locos into very small 1:20.3 logging tramway locos by fitting larger cabs and generally messing about with their proportions. They should be great to use on the test track in my bedroom and I'm sure the Bachman indoor track will be fine for them to run on. <br />I do intend to build a proper outdoor logging tramway layout using USA Trains brass track out in the courtyard, but I think I'll get the hang of 'G' first of all by messing with it indoors. Welcome to 'G' gauge, - and may you have much fun. <br /> <br />Annie
