Help, Need source for G scale parts and am on Bubble Gum Budget
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, November 30, 2005 12:06 AM
Hello everyone.

My dad and youngest brother took off on a hunting trip over the Thanks Giving Weekend. My mom went with them because they were going hunting near where some of her family lived. My Brother Justin and I decided to suprise them while they were gone. and Decorated the house for Christmas. They were plesently suprised when they got home. And then they suprised me. First thing Dad carried into the house was an LGB G-scale Train set.

We got it up and running yesterday and It is very nice. I know that if forwhat ever reason my HO Roster goes up in smoke or something I will change to G-scale because its size is just perfect for my jittery hands.

However Dad was commenting today that Gee he would like to have a few more cars for this train. As it only comes with an 0-4-0T 4 Wheel Tank Car and Bobber Caboose. Crafty me thought. Gee. I subscribe to Garden Railways. I will make some cars for him. But now I have a problem. All my stuff is HO. I need a source of G-Scale wheels and Couplers Compatible with Stock LGB "Hook and Loop" and I have about $10.00 to buy them with.

Can anyone help me?

James.

Hi James,
Send me your address kimbrit@yahoo.com and I'll post you some, I have a bag full of hook and loops, mainly USA/Aristo/Bachmann and plastic wheels. Don't worry about the postage, it'll only be a couple of quid.
Cheers,
Kim
