The track, and controllers and even the boxcar are similar copies to LGB.. The Curves used are called? R1′s this is the proper name.. The power pack needs to be plugged into the wall because the rails need to be electrified for trains to run.

Are you? all kidding? I LOVE trains and have a bunch of G-scale trains around the dining room and office in my house running from one room to the next.

@CurbsideColumn Well it’s probably boring to you because you have no interest.?

@CurbsideColumn The reason this is so popular? is because of people who lost the instructions

…and plastic drive rods on the locomotive really make it look cheap. As nice as the set is, at least Piko could have done something to give the appearance of quality to the? drive rods on the loco.
