Find the LGB Track Your Railroad Needs

From a simple loop to a sprawling garden railway, LGB track can grow along with the railroad. Straight and curved sections create the route, while switches, crossings, flexible track, and specialty pieces make it possible to add sidings, passing tracks, stations, yards, and branching lines.

Shape the Railway

  • LGB straight track
  • LGB curved track
  • R1, R2, R3 and larger-radius curves
  • LGB flexible track
  • Track sets and expansion pieces

Expand & Connect

  • LGB switches and turnouts
  • Left and right switches
  • Crossings and specialty track
  • Terminal and power connections
  • Rail joiners and track accessories

Trainz inventory can include new and pre-owned LGB G Scale track alongside older, discontinued, and hard-to-find pieces, making it possible to start something new or find the missing section for a railroad that's been running for years.

Understanding LGB R1, R2, R3 & Track Curves

When shopping LGB curved track, you'll often see radius designations such as R1, R2, R3, and R5. These identify the size of the curve: the higher the radius, the broader the turn and the more space it requires.

Common LGB Curve Sizes

  • R1 — 600 mm (23.6") radius: the tighter standard LGB curve and the most compact of these options.
  • R2 — 780 mm (30.7") radius: a wider curve that provides a more open track plan.
  • R3 — 1,195 mm (47") radius: a broad curve suited to layouts with more room for sweeping turns.
  • R5 — 2,320 mm (91.3") radius: a very broad curve requiring considerably more layout space.

Why Radius Matters

  • Smaller radius = tighter curve and smaller footprint
  • Larger radius = broader, more gradual curve
  • Long locomotives and cars may require or perform better on broader curves
  • Always check the minimum curve requirements of the specific equipment you plan to run

If you're expanding an existing LGB track layout, check the radius and exact track geometry before buying replacement curves or switches. Two pieces of LGB curved track can look similar while creating very different track plans.

Why LGB Brass Track Works So Well for Garden Railways

LGB and garden railroading have long gone hand in hand. LGB brass track is well suited to large-scale railroads that travel through gardens, patios, and other outdoor spaces, while the same track can also be used to build an indoor railroad.

Outdoor operation does bring extra maintenance. Dirt, leaves, moisture, and oxidation can affect the running surface and electrical contact, so keeping the rails and connections in good condition is an important part of reliable garden railway operation.

Buying pre-owned LGB track? Check the rail, ties, joiners, connection points, length, and curve radius so the piece fits both the physical and electrical needs of your existing railroad.

LGB Switches, Turnouts & Specialty Track

A switch, also called a turnout, allows a train to move from one route to another. Add left and right LGB switches to create passing tracks, sidings, station areas, yards, and branches instead of sending every train around the same loop.

Depending on the product, LGB switches may be manually operated or equipped for electric operation. Crossings and other specialty track sections provide even more options for developing a larger track plan.

When replacing a turnout, compare the item number, direction, radius or track geometry, and operating method rather than choosing by appearance alone.

Power, Connections & LGB Track Maintenance

A good track plan still needs reliable electrical connections. Rail joiners, terminal connections, feeders, and clean contact surfaces all help carry power around an LGB railroad, particularly as the route becomes longer or more complex.

Outdoor layouts also make track cleaning especially important. LGB has produced rail-cleaning equipment, but some LGB track-cleaning products are maintenance accessories or rolling-stock products rather than track sections, so check the individual listing for its intended use.

Common Questions About LGB Track

Is LGB track G Scale or G Gauge?

LGB trains run on 45 mm gauge track and are commonly grouped with G Scale, G Gauge, large-scale, and garden railway trains. Large-scale trains can represent different modeling ratios, so these terms are related but not always technically interchangeable.

Can LGB track be used outdoors?

Yes. LGB track is widely associated with outdoor garden railways and can also be used indoors. Outdoor layouts require more attention to rail cleanliness, connections, drainage, and the supporting surface.

What is LGB track made from?

LGB is especially well known for track made with brass rail and molded plastic ties. Check the individual listing when the exact material or construction of a particular track product matters.

What do R1, R2 and R3 mean on LGB track?

They distinguish different curve radii in the LGB track system. R1 is tighter, while R2, R3, and larger radii create progressively broader curves that require more space.

Are LGB switches and turnouts the same thing?

Yes. Model railroaders commonly use both terms for the track component that directs a train between different routes.

Can used LGB track be added to an existing layout?

Often, yes. Match the required track geometry and inspect the rail, ties, joiners, and connections. With curved track and switches, confirm the radius and configuration as well.

Can I find older or discontinued LGB track?

Trainz's changing pre-owned inventory can include older, discontinued, and hard-to-find LGB track, switches, track sets, and accessories when available.

Have LGB Track or a Garden Railway Collection to Sell?

If your extra track is part of a larger collection, Trainz buys qualifying LGB and model train collections that may include locomotives, freight and passenger cars, train sets, track, switches, accessories, parts, and other large-scale equipment.
