The guys that run LGB invented 22.5 ; 1 back in the sixties and as far as i know all LGB stuff is 22.5 : 1. If I were you i would think long and hard about buying anything else but LGb as that is what you have. Any I bought when I knew no better has never been used and it is unlikely that i ever will. Not because I don’t want too but because i can’t for electrical and mechanical reasins.

What it really boils down to is: How much of a stickler are you on fidelity to scale? Are you a serious ‘rivet counter’ who gets upset whenever some doohicky isn’t placed exacly right on the model? Or are you a person who just gets a kick out of seeing a train run around the garden?
Personally, I’m a “#1 buy what they like from any manufacturer and who cares what others think” kind of a guy. I have engines and rolling stock from LGB, Aristocraft, Hartland, USA, Lionel, Bachmann, etc. I mix and match all of them.

Hi SKMoss
We all sat where you are now in the “OK what happens now corner”
some of us can still remember that early confusion some of us
still have it [:)]
Just remember the stupid question is the one you don’t ask when
you should have.
I think I saw somewhere that you have done some modeling in the smaller scales some of that will help you
But some of this size is real engineering only smaller.
But its all fun so enjoy and some times it is good to look at beginners isuies again you allways end up learning something
regards John
