Surround Yourself With a Display of LGB Model Trains

By Dee Ross

One of the more impressive things that you will see in stores during the holiday season is the model train displays. They are monster size trains that only seem to come out once Santa is getting ready to make an appearance. While there are several companies that make these G scale trains, few are as popular as LGB model trains.

When you are putting together a display that is going to use LGB, you need to understand how large these trains actually are and the space commitment that is needed to pull it off. They are going to need a very wide turning radius and are not something that you can set up on a banquet table or around a small tree. These are the kinds of trains that you will want to have in a much larger setting.

This is what makes an outdoor display the perfect arena for LGB model trains. You can have a garden display with them or perhaps have them rolling around your entire house during the Christmas season. You will know you got it right when your neighbors are walking into each other because they are stopping to look every time they cruise past your house.

If the outdoor setting is not possible, you still do not have to dismiss getting G scale trains. If your basement is set up as a game room or hobby room, you can absolutely make this work. Get really creative and create shelving around the perimeter of the room that you can set your track on. Now your trains can stay up year around and you can be assured that virtually nobody else will have done this.

LGB model trains offer a wide variety of locomotives and passenger cars to choose from. They range from the very classic styling of old time railroad to the sleek modern look of the electric trains of today. Priced anywhere from $100.00 for some of the passenger cars to $1600.00 for the locomotives, this is not only a hobby but an investment.

One good thing about LGB model trains is that even though they are much larger that the trains that most people collect, they need no extra power requirements to run. You can operate them with your standard electrical set up and will not have to incur any other costs to get them going wherever you choose to create your train scene.

When you want something unique that nobody else has and really want to make an impression with your model train set, LGB model trains should be your first and only consideration. Their displays have been stopping traffic in malls for decades and there is no reason that you cannot have the same thing at your home. Check them out and if you can find the space, this is absolutely the set for you. - 31503
