I was asked to move this thread to this topic area


I want to start a G scale collection but I really would like some info on the hobby.

What brands to collect? I knoiw its buyer choice but I want to hear about quality and parts avalibility?


what to look for when buying?

Live steam? do they really run on steam?

Are all the brands interchangeable meaning can they all run on the same system? track, power

Thanks
