Hi, and thanks for your time.I have long collected Lionel, K-Line and MTH O gauge trains (3 engins and about 45 various cars), mostly for under the Christmas tree.  I have, for a while, had a desire to have a garden train in my yard.  But I am not sure which mfg to buy.  I love steam locos, and have had many conversations with my local hobby store, who always turn me to LGB.  But thats also what they mostly stock.  I am interested in buying the LGB 72442 NYC Freight starter set w/sound, but I also like some of the Aristo Craft and Bachmann models.  My biggest concern is LGB claims thier locos will out last everyone else's.  SO my main questions are:I have an area of about 15' x 20 - 25'Is LGB that much better than the others?Can I run LGB with Aristo Craft and/or Bachmann on the same line.Is the Track compatibleAnd which MTS system should I use.Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.  I have not purchased anything yet, and have only started on analyzing the space I have in the yard.Thanks,plm-miamilakes
