G SCALE NEWS
Please email G Scale news to Keith Edwards - link at bottom of page
Started by the German firm of Lehmann in the 1960s, with a trade name of LGB
(which translated means Lehmann Big Railway), G scale is essentially the
modelling of narrow gauge railway on track 45mm wide (the same as gauge 1, but
to a heavier profile).
The quality and variety of LGB
products is almost legendary and such has been their success that many other
manufacturers have entered the scene, including Playmobil in Germany, and
Bachmann and REA in the USA.
G Scale products are long-lasting and reliable, and
generally weatherproof making them ideal for outdoor operation.
Some modellers run their stock straight from the box, whilst others scratch
build models, perhaps using a LGB chassis. The choice is yours - we operate a
broad church.

Founded in 1987, the Society now has hundreds of members in the UK and overseas.
It caters for all modellers working in G Scale and has a liberal approach,
believing that enjoyment is just as important as rivet-counting, but with no
bias in either direction!
Informal area groups exist so that members can share their modelling
experiences and run their stock on other lines. Members are given a further
chance to meet at G Rail, the Annual Convention and General Meeting, which is
held at a central UK location and features working layouts, trade stands, and
slide or video shows.
A quality journal is published quarterly by the society for its members.

what you get and the cost are on the membership page.
