LGB covers much more than one kind of train. From compact steam locomotives and Swiss electric power to freight wagons, passenger coaches, starter sets, track, and repair parts, each part of the LGB range offers a different way to build or expand a large-scale railroad.
This broader LGB collection is also where you'll find products that do not have their own category, including buildings, figures, signals, bridges, controllers, trolleys, railcars, maintenance equipment, and other LGB railway accessories.
LGB has produced far more than locomotives and rolling stock. Stations, railway buildings, figures, vehicles, bridges, lighting, signals, and scenery can turn a simple track plan into a much more complete garden railway or indoor layout.
Because there is no separate LGB Accessories collection, this broader page is also the main destination for LGB layout accessories, structures, scenery, and specialty railway products.
LGB has offered transformers, power supplies, controllers, digital equipment, switch controls, sound products, and other components used to operate a large-scale railroad.
Older systems may use LGB's Multi Train System, or MTS, while later locomotives and accessories can use other digital technology. Compatibility varies across generations, so check the specific controller, locomotive, decoder, or accessory rather than assuming all LGB electronics work the same way.
Physical switches and turnouts belong with LGB Track, while replacement electronics intended for repairs belong with LGB Train Parts. Standalone LGB power and control equipment remains part of this broader collection.
Not every LGB train fits neatly under steam, diesel, or electric locomotives. The brand has also produced trolleys, trams, streetcars, railcars, railbuses, powered passenger vehicles, maintenance equipment, and other specialty models.
These unusual LGB trains can suit street-running scenes, local passenger service, branch lines, industrial railways, or collectors looking beyond conventional locomotive-hauled trains. Rail-cleaning locomotives, work trains, and maintenance vehicles may also appear here when they are complete operating products rather than replacement parts.
LGB has been closely associated with large-scale garden railroading since its introduction in 1968. LGB trains generally operate on 45 mm gauge track and are commonly grouped under G Scale or G Gauge, making them a natural fit for both indoor railroads and outdoor garden layouts.
The original LGB G Scale relationship is commonly associated with 1:22.5, which represents meter-gauge prototypes on 45 mm model track. That remains an important part of LGB's European narrow-gauge heritage, but it should not be treated as the exact scale ratio of every LGB model.
LGB has represented prototypes from different railways and gauges over the years, which is why shoppers may encounter terms such as LGB G Scale, G Gauge, large scale, garden trains, and garden railway equipment throughout the hobby.
European narrow-gauge railways are central to LGB's identity. German, Austrian, and Swiss prototypes appear throughout the brand's history in steam, diesel, and electric locomotives, passenger coaches, freight wagons, and specialty railway equipment.
Swiss railroading is especially recognizable through LGB models representing the Rhaetian Railway, or RhB. LGB has also produced American-style locomotives and rolling stock, giving large-scale modelers a very different railroad tradition to explore within the same brand.
Shopping LGB is not limited to current production. Trainz buys collections and carries pre-owned model trains, so inventory can bring newer LGB releases together with vintage locomotives, discontinued rolling stock, older accessories, retired train sets, buildings, controls, and unusual products from earlier generations.
That changing selection is especially useful when you're looking for a specific LGB item number, older railway or road name, discontinued accessory, or missing piece of a collection. Trainz listing photos can also help you evaluate the actual pre-owned item being offered.
Features can differ substantially between similar-looking LGB products from different production periods, so check the individual listing for condition, included pieces, sound, digital equipment, packaging, and other model-specific details.
Have an LGB railroad or collection you're ready to sell? Trainz buys qualifying model train collections that may include LGB locomotives, rolling stock, train sets, track, buildings, accessories, controls, parts, and other large-scale equipment.
Older and discontinued LGB equipment can be considered along with newer trains. Visit Sell My Trains: How It Works to learn how the process works and whether your collection may qualify.
LGB is a large-scale model railway brand closely associated with G Scale, G Gauge, and garden railroading. Its range has included locomotives, rolling stock, train sets, track, accessories, structures, control equipment, and specialty railway products.
No. The historic LGB G Scale standard is closely associated with 1:22.5 for meter-gauge prototypes on 45 mm track, but LGB has represented prototypes from different railways and gauges. Not every LGB model should be described as exactly 1:22.5.
Both terms are commonly used. LGB trains generally operate on 45 mm gauge track and are widely grouped with G Scale, G Gauge, large-scale, and garden railway trains.
LGB is strongly associated with garden railway operation. Outdoor use still requires attention to track installation, electrical connections, cleaning, weather exposure, and the requirements of each locomotive, car, or accessory.
Yes. LGB has produced track, buildings, figures, signals, bridges, lighting, catenary, controllers, digital equipment, maintenance products, trolleys, railcars, and many other railway accessories.
Yes. European and narrow-gauge subjects are central to LGB, but the brand has also produced locomotives and rolling stock based on North American prototypes.
MTS stands for Multi Train System, an LGB digital control system used with compatible equipment. Because LGB electronics span different generations, compatibility should be checked for the specific locomotive, controller, decoder, or accessory.
Yes. LGB has produced trolleys, trams, streetcars, railcars, railbuses, and other specialty powered equipment in addition to conventional locomotive-hauled trains.
Yes. Trainz's changing pre-owned inventory can include vintage, discontinued, collectible, and hard-to-find LGB trains, accessories, track, parts, and other equipment when collections become available.
