My lgb track fimping hd
LGB is the standard acronym for Lehmann Gross Bahn - the "Lehmann Big Train" in German. Made by Ernst Paul Lehmann Patentwerk in Nuremberg, Germany, since 1968[1], it is the most popular garden railway model in Europe, although there are also many models of U.S. and Canadian prototypes[2]. LGB caused a revival of garden model railroading in the United States when it was introduced[2]. LGB was sold in North America through Ernst Paul Lehmann's subsidiary, LGB of America. Most of the European prototypes were manufactured in Germany, while much of the North American rolling stock was made in China.

LGB trains are responsible for introducing "G" scale to model railroading[1]. The scale ratio used by LGB is 1:22.5[3], although other G-scale (and Gauge 1) manufacturers produce products that range from 1:20 to 1:32[4], and for the most part, all use the same track and are compatible with one another. Though they can all run on the same track (45 mm gauge), it should be noted, however, that models representing narrow-gauge versions of trains or locomotives would not normally be run together with models of larger full-scale vehicles. To fit the same standard track the latter must be built using different scales. To illustrate the point, 1:22.5 scale passengers and/or train crew are somewhat oversized when displayed in close proximity with 1:32 models. Though the models may be physically compatible, many people choose a style or era to fit their desires and pick one ratio (in the range of 1:20.3 to 1:32) to model all of their trains.
