It is great stuff. I have a small collection of LGB G scale models - all Swiss and German metre gauge prototypes though they do offer US-outline models too. If you want to go into European G LGB are the only mass-market manufacturer, though the products are excellent. For US G scale you have LGB, Aristocraft, and USA Trains, all of which have good reputations. I'd say the best buys would be either one of the Aristo starter sets or the LGB ones, depending on what you want to model - LGB have a very nice freelance 0-4-0 tender loco with sound and MTS (their DCC equivelent - it's "just about" compatible in that you can control an MTS loco with a DCC command station but you don't have access to all the programming and MTS only supports 23 addresses - you can retro-fit a DCC decoder though if the limitations become a problem). I've been very tempted to buy one of the GN versions of this but it doesn't suit the rest of my collection. Hope this is of help! <br /> <br />PS. LGB web site: www.lgb.de - click on the UK/US flags to get the English-language version, they have photos and technical data on the range.
