Well, I actually have a Greatland Express battery operated train with its boxcar and cboose and it is what got me interested in G scale in the first place. My parents got it for me because I liked Thomas the Tank engine as a little kid and I loved that train so much all the track got broken and the engine's detail parts are practically non existent because of so much use. In fact, sitting on the living room floor and watching it run around the christmas tree is my happiest memory. I did try running it on my outdoor track after the plastic track was too broken to work anymore and I got it to work once. Like vsmith, the 6 C batteries in the tender weighed so much more than teh engine, that it could not grip the rails to pull the tender without the tight curves of the plastic track. I still love the engine, and it is confined to use at christmas around the tree.
