CHAPTER 2: WHAT IS LGB? This garden railway, in the northeast United States, combines American and European prototype trains. 15
This is the actual size of an LGB "Stainz" locomotive. 16 LGB is many things… LGB is big. In fact, the letters "LGB" stand for "Lehmann Gross Bahn" or "Lehmann's Big Train." LGB trains are G scale (1:22.5). That's almost four times larger than conventional HO-scale trains (1:87) and almost ten times larger than Z-scale trains (1:220). Because of their size, LGB trains are easy to put on the track, even for children. Details are big enough to see and strong enough to withstand frequent handling. Bodies are thick enough to survive accidents. Cars are easy to couple and uncouple. Trains stay on track, even on uneven surfaces. LGB is for indoors and outdoors. LGB is the first production model railroad designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Major body parts are made of engineering plastics, like BASF Luran-S, an impact-resistant polycarbonate. Ultraviolet-resistant plastics and coatings are used to protect LGB trains from harsh sunlight, even in tropical climates. Gearboxes are protected from dirt and moisture. Control boxes can be permanently mounted outdoors without any special protection. Don't forget about indoor operation. LGB trains are both realistic and beautiful. They look good on traditional model railroad layouts and in unconventional displays, like shelf and ceiling layouts. Indoor LGB layouts can be found in basements, kitchens and formal living rooms. You can also find LGB layouts in commercial establishments, from McDonald's restaurants to five-star hotels. LGB is simple. LGB trains are designed for people who want to have fun with trains. You don't need to be an expert mechanic or electronics wizard to enjoy LGB. Track sections connect quickly without tools. Electrical connections are simple with color-coded wires and terminals. With LGB, you can start having fun right away. And once you start, you can keep going and going and going. Trains stay on track with oversized wheel flanges and rugged "hook-and-loop" couplers. Locomotives run for years with seven-pole Bühler motors and multiple electrical pickups. LGB's exclusive "EPL" train
