I'm assuming by everything I've read that Bachmann Large Scale trains are in fact G scale. Just curious why Bachmann refers to them as Large Scale instead of G? If I assumed wrong, you know what they say about assuming. LOL

We have been doing a Christmas village around the tree for years. We live in Pomona Ca, and see the local fairs garden rail every year. We decided as a family project that we wanted to do one in our yard. Based on what I have read so far G Scale is the way to go. Are Bachmann G scale train sets ok to run outside? I know I will have to change out the track, but was curious about Engine and cars. Thanks in advance.
