I am also just getting my garden line up and running again. My motive power is a Hartland 4-4-0, which is just plain beautifull if you like pre 1900 colorful trains, which were prototypical back then. While I would love to have one of the Bachmann scale 4-4-0's in the Eureka and Palisides colors, my garden railway will not allow the curve radius that these locomotives require, so the shorter Hartland one will suffice. It still looks good as long as you match the cars to the locomotive. There are so many different scales that make up G scale its mind bogling. Even one manufacture can have two different scales within thier own line, Aristcraft is one, they have their standard stuff, the diesels and the Mikado, but then they have thier old timer stuff, ie C-16 and the reissue delton stuff. The old delton stuff, kalamazoo stuff and of coarse the Hartland trains stuff all fit my scale. Model whatever you like and what makes you happy. Thats whats important. Cheers Mike
