If all that grass was yellow and the fence was gone id be fooled in to thinking that the train was rolling through wheat fields in the mid west

@busterbrown17 Hi there, Yes those USA Trains 1:29 Big Boys are HUGE and the engine without tender weighs 45lbs. These have die cast metal frames but plastic boilers so they don't weigh as much. Engine without tender is 18lbs. Pulling power is about the same because the MTH has traction tires. The MTH engines sold for 1000 dollars the USA 3500. Hope you can get either one they both great engines. My USA stays in a display case but run the MTH ones regularly.

@PratikL20 Well, I used to get all my stuff from Ridgeroadstation but they have since closed down. For MTH stuff I am now a dealer so I buy it all direct. The rest I generally get from Jim at gscalejunction (dot) com. Haha no not at all, there is definitely a learning curve with it all. There is a bit to consider when making decisions on what to go with... there's a lot of choices out there!

@rayman4449 from where do you buy this awesome garden railroad stuff, do you have to be an electrical engineer or something in order to do this set up!!!!!

@TheJamesbondsong Yes they are, they don't oxidize so they never need to be cleaned.

@clockhunter322000 Actually because of the overlap I left into the grass I only have to push mow down the side so it's not bad at all actually.
