Are there any British style G scale trains?

There's always the Lionel Harry Potter Express. Though, I believe the more recent versions aren't quite 45mm gauge whereas the earlier ones were. Ironically, the only ones I can find on eBay are in the USA. Eg

I have that set (slightly different packaging) - was going to check if it worked on G45 track before I said anything. I paid £58 for it if I recall correctly.
 
I think this all highlights the problem in using the terms scale and gauge. It’s probably accepted that G is is predominantly 45mm gauge, although the use of 32mm track does creep in. Scale is something quite different.

What sort of British outline trains are you looking for? Narrow gauge or standard gauge (4’ 8.5”). If narrow, then there are quite a few things around although the actual scale still varies. If Standard gauge, then it’s more restricted (I believe). You’d also be into what can be known as Gauge 1 territory. Confused yet?
