Here in Australia just about everyone does that is into Garden railways. A number of us from several countries have opined that LGB's pricing policy is stifling the pasttime in our individual countries I am also of the opinion that our local LGB people act as if they have no compettition. <br /> <br />I have an LGB G gauge DR Mallet 99201 that cost me A$1700 second ahnd and I have spent about A$400 on it to bring it up to full digital MTS standard. The same engine new would cost a bit less than A$4000 new. We paid nearly A $600 e for several Golden Mountain carriages to go with the Mallet. The overall train is something to see hear and experience and the Mallet will pull 4 litres of wine up a 4 % gradient.It has about 7 sounds and can be heard across the street. <br /> <br />My wife is an accountant and we have agreed to anly buy good stuff anf not a lot of junk that doesn't do anything. <br /> <br />Regards <br /> <br />Ian; Kawana Island Tropical Railway.
