This is a pic from LL Deutschland that shows a miniland trolley running on G
scale track. The motors wheels look to be LGB to me.
Of course miniland’s scale is 1:20 and I am building 1:32, but I found it
interesting that TLG itself has already done what I am planning to do.
Perhaps that puts me back into the ranks of the pure? :-)

Amen - my snotty brother!
Yes, LBG-track can be regarded as a 100% pure LEGO solution. In principle one
might support the opinion, that LEGO gave up 9V in order to push us onto LGB
track.
They softly started this in 2002 with the Guenzburg Legoland park and that
prooved the LGB stuff to be very reliable and durable.
It’s funny how much the LEGO buildings have been suffered under the climate and
UV-radiation since 2002 (park opening) - just compare my picture from 2002 with
the new gallery. But the LGB motors and the track seem to to be working since
then without causing major trouble.
When I visited LEGOLAND last time I found that during my visit a couple of
trains derailed. But that have only been the homebrewed wide LEGO-track engines.
I never saw the narrow gauge (= LGB system) suffering under similar problems.
So this might be the time for the rest of us to look into 12...16 wide trains at
last.
LGB LEG GODT!

I understand the idea of wanting an outside park, but UV and the weather is just too harsh on ABS. Why not have some really kewl nicely (...) (17 years ago, 13-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
