Hello all,

 

I have an LGb  2028D mogul locomotive, narrow guage. Will this train run on Aristocraft g scale #1 guage, 45mm, indoor outdoor brass track? If not what is the correct track.

Thak you all,

Bernie

Large Scale (including "G" and several different size ratios of equipment 1:32 through 1:22.5 {and others}) all run on "gage 1" or 45 mm track. The primary distinction is the tie spacing and tie dimentions (height and width), genreally speaking the varieties are "American", "European" and "Narrow Gage".

Bernie, All "G" manufactuers equipment will run all G gauge (45mm) track. However some large prototype narrowgauge equipment will need more right-of-way clearance than say prototype standard (1/32 scale) gauge equipment.

Have fun, good luck, Rob

Yes given LGB engineered its trains to run on even the smallest 4' diameter curves & switches,  it will run on everything out there 45mm track wise.

   Have fun with your trains
