Great video, thanks for the information. A question please? What is the minimum radius curve that the Lady Anne locomotives and train of short wheelbase rollingstock can reasonably negotiate (without too much drag) and is there any difference in this regard with the 32mm to the 45mm. (I'm planning on buying a Lady Anne shortly).
@LMatters1 - The Lady Anne will be happy on even the tightest of curves. The centre drivers are flange-less. With the gauge set correctly there will be no difference whether you are running on 32 or 45mm track. You will of course get more overhang than you would on an 0-4-0 loco such as Katie, George, Mildred, Billy etc..
amazing outdoor layout the locos look great makes me want to have an outdoor layout you recommend anywhere good to buy ballast for 00 gauge apart from model zone etc i have quite a bit of ballasting to do in places thumbs up
@steveallen808909 - yes, try Modellers Mate (search for on Google), go to "products" page, then "scenics page", then "granite and slate". The 25kg sacks are fantastic value. Hope that helps. For my Garden Railway I use 4mm and 6mm Limestone, but for 00 gauge fine granite is much better.
Of cource there are exceptions to the rule, I opperate on 45mm gauge with Peco 45mm track which is of lighter construction to that of LGB. I opperate only live steam (rarely battery locos) My railway is of british outline and 16mm scale.
@DebenValleyLightRail - there are of course many exceptions, but this film shows simply the difference between 32mm and 45mm gauges when combined with a locomotive that is suited to both.

@music1radio
The video gives an excellent explanation of the two different gauges and will be most helpful to those starting out in this wonderful hobby!
