Well linked. Only thing that interests me is the cover diesel a 10c, these fit in with my scheme very well. I even saw one at Gernrode on my first visit in 1981 so fits my chosen epoch well, except I need it in blue, so may have to wait a while or repaint. This will sent you straight there.
Funnily enough there is just one in the LGB range, a similar loco to the one above called Cambrai was produced as a relivery of the Corpet. Cambrai is preserved in uk, near me at Irchester now but was at Towyn for a very long time. So another one to add this year, so glad I stopped collecting Corpets at 5, think I am 2 missing including this years.

Nor forgetting the varying 2ft Gauge kit for FR, LnB and others much of which is available to run on Gauge 1 track, but that is diversion from LGB. However thread drift here is an phenomena not.I you realise the two manufacturers are German / European, that the UK is a piddlin' small island, that was not part of E-U-rope for years..
'We Brits' are a tiny market.. Hence LGB concentrate on Europe and American outline models..
As 'we' invented railways, 'we' get a little 'anal' about things like 'scale', 'rivets', 'liveries', and 'upper versus lower quadrant signalling'..
There are plenty of UK outline models in gauges O and 1, then there are all the various narrow gauge offerings..
If you really want to make an impression, then have a hunt for 'UK outline gauge 3'. But be sitting down, when you get to the prices!
If you are new to this game you may be perplexed by some of the answers which refer to gauge 0 gauge 1, gauge 3 and 16mm. These are shorthand for a range of track gauges and scales which come under the garden railway umbrella but may not be g-scale as you understand it. This bamboozled me for at least my first year. If you need explanations let us know but please ask in another thread.
But as many conversation in the past has g-scale in not a scale but a gauge (45mm) with a range of scales (1:29 - 1:19) running on it though purist will say it is 1:22.5, but with a rubber ruler
That is mostly due to the fact that 16mm 2ft Gauge models are pretty close to the same Height and width of our mostly metre Gauge models. 16mm scale 32mm Gauge guys happily use Re-Gauged LGB and now other manufacturers wagons and coaches for their lines.
Yes a friend of mine in Somerset UK jumped for a Red one in the last month or two, bet he is regretting that as well as his prefered RHB Colour is Green. He is always on the lookout for another Green GE 4/4 II, at a sensible price of course.
