[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by piercedan One big difference between G and O guage is LGB, Aristo, USA all make solidtrack whereas the most common O guage is hollow. For long term operation, the brass will survive better. I would go with LGB for the operation of the train as I believe they are very robust. I would also add a car with ball bearing power pickups and tie/mu this to my engine to get better power pickup and this goes for any manufacturer you select. Keep in mind that you will have to clean the track, so make sure it is all accessable. There iare many types of track cleaning cars on the market, plus LGB makes a motorized version which now may need MTS or DCC to operate it. [/quote] Good tips! Yes, good idea---behind the engine you can put a car with LGB ball bearing wheelsets and put wires to these into the LGB power socket behind the engine or tender---that way you have extra power pickups for the engine which will make the train much more reliable when running at slower speeds around the layout. Note that the LGB Track Cleaning Locomotive does NOT require MTS , it will work with either normal DC power or MTS. Regards, Thomas M.
