Hello Fellow RR’s … I’ve been collecting G-Scale “stuff” for years and just retired! I have a dozen or so buildings (Piko, etc.) as well as some bridges that need assembly and, of course, numerous 45mm “rolling stock.”
Now, I need a nice locomotive! … I have an old G-Scale Lionel “Mikado” (sorta’) that won’t pull its own shadow and I figured I’d buy a nice LGB ATSF 20872! But I notice that LGB in Germany is, to say the least, in a bit of disarray! (ANY news on this will be MOST appreciated!)
So, I’m seriously considering an Aristo-Craft ART21602 ATSF Challenger 2-8-8-2. I believe that the LGB “Mike” was 1:27th (unlike everything else of their’s that’s 1:22.5) and the ART21602 is 1:29th, so, hopefully, it won’t look TOO out of place! (I’d be most grateful for ANY advice on this as well!)
I’ll be checking in and out of here regularly and look forward to lots of great “sharing” of our Model RR interests!
… BEST regards to ALL! … [:)]
