When I first thought about 'G' scale some years ago I picked up an LGB catalogue and was very pleased with what I saw, - THEN I had a read of the price list. ............ Well I must say that the ambulance man was very kind and understanding and he advised me not to read an LGB price list ever again. <br />I think Bachman's Big Hauler range finally brought some common sense to 'G' scale. Finally it became possible to purchase reasonable looking large scale models at an affordable price. Now before anybody scoffs about price, I'm talking about the days when I was a parent with 2 young children who liked trains, and we had a mortgage and I wasn't paid much. In the end I made a locomotive to 10mm scale from soldered tinplate based on Sir Handel from Thomas the Tank Engine and knocked up a few Welsh ore tippers and open wagons from galvanised steel sheet. I think I used some old Triang '00' coarse scale wheels on homemade axles which worked out nicely for 10mm scale narrow gauge. I suppose too the truth of the matter is that my kids were much happier playing with the trainset I built for them rather than anything off the shelf. BUT it still would've been nice to have had the choice. <br /> <br />Annie
