Hi! I’m brand new here, just starting to plan a garden setup., acquiring things at shows and auctions. I have a question about whether LGB and Aristo-Craft engines will fit in a Marklin engine shed, since the scales are a bit different. Any advice? Thanks

Welcome to the forum! I can’t answer your question, but I hope you have a great time building your railroad!

I don’t know off hand. You can measure your tallest engine, and also the opening in the engine shed. I know many people are buying on line these days, so it’s harder not being able to see the items first.
Whatever happens, you’ll have fun anyway!
Best of luck!

Just like Paul stated, your best bet is to measure. But if buying the shed online see if you can get dimensions first. I wasn’t aware that Marklin produces a modern (non tinplate) engine shed in gauge 1?
