Can someone provide me info regarding G-Scale? I see some G Scale items for sale and I'm wondering how they compare to 1/30 or 1/32 scale?

MTH Railking is definately not 1/32. It is considerably smaller than our toy soldiers...Coming from a train guy..:)Michael
 
Does anyone know if one of the above makers does a tressel bridge in 1-32?

G-scale can sometimes be referred to as Goofy scale. Although, the track is the same size, trains can come in various sizes. I'm an LGB Collector, and scale is not an exact science. I believe Marklin 1 scale will look best with KC. Also,I think this Pola bridge is nice.

Railking and Lionel are O scale. The expert on trains here is Njja. Maybe he'll weigh in at some point.

I used to collect O scale and even that took up a lot of room for a small layout. G scale is obviously much bigger so you do need to have lots of room for it.
 
Here are some of my K&C with Aristo-Craft, 1:29 Scale, products. I think they go well with each other.

Beautiful display..I agree with the sizing. Also, a number of these cars are European influenced. Michael

They do go well with each other. But unless you also collect trains, wouldn't that setup cost $800??? Expensive accessories for a diorama.

I remember when Darryl posted it. Beautiful display indeed.
 
I did a real quick internet search and, although not finding the specific train Darryl posted, looks like you can get a loco for around $300. With track and station, I suppose $500. Just a rough guess.
