G gauge / Garden Railways.

This page last updated 23 Sep 2011.

Hobbies Plus has been selling G gauge trains for over 20 years. At present, no G gauge items are in stock other than the Bachmann Thomas the Tank Engine set below. LGB and Bachmann items are ordered as requested for the time being. The situation will be reviewed if demand warrants.

G gauge is ideal for outdoor use and is designed to work in a garden environment. LGB track can be walked on without damage, and locomotives have enclosed mechanisms to keep them safe from the elements.

We sell the German made LGB range of European and American trains and also the Chinese built Bachmann range of USA prototype models.

INTERESTING TRIVIA NOTE: The track length of this layout is 4.4metres. The average number of laps is 4.5 per minute.
This means the train travels approximately 1.2km per hour. As the train runs whenever we are open (only 4 days a week), it averages just over 30km per week or about 1600km per year.
This little locomotive has now travelled in excess of 12000km and apart from very occasional cleaning and oiling, has not needed any maintenance or replacement parts. You too can expect this kind of reliability from LGB trains.

For more information, or to place an order, please contact us to ensure the item is still in stock before sending payment. Postage is at cost.
 
Please note that Hobbies Plus is a small shop. In order to try and keep a larger variety of items in stock, it is often necessary to keep only small numbers of many items. So, in many cases, we may only have one or two of a particular item in stock. We shall endeavour to remove items no longer in stock from these lists as soon as practical unless it is likely the item/s will be back in stock very soon.
