G SCALE

This article was in the LGB Telegram Summer 2004 Issue Volume 15, Number 2 “An Apartment Size Layout ” – The Big little Railway (There’s more than meets the eye in this small layout) .

The layout is 5 ft X 16 ft. This article shows what can be done in G Scale with big trains in small space and still have a lot of fun running and operating trains. It also show that no matter what the scale you want to model in, it can be done even in small spaces. Of course the smaller the scale the bigger the Empire.

This magazine has been combined with the German version called “LGB DEPESCHE“.
