Can Lego trains run on G scale track?
I assume you are aware of the existence of LEGO Trains such as 60052 Cargo Train? The scale of these trains is not directly compatible with LGB’s G-scale (the LEGO scale is sometimes referred to as L-Scale or L-Gauge) but many of the train elements can be used for building different scales.
How many bricks high is a Lego train?
4558 – Metroliner. 60051 – High Speed Passenger Train. 71044 – Disney Train and Station (just the train, obviously) 60198 – Cargo Train.
What gauge is Lego train track?
37.5mm
The train system is sometimes referred to as ‘L-gauge’ among Lego fans, in reference to traditional model railway scales. Lego trains use a nominal gauge of 37.5mm, 5.5mm wider than O gauge, derived from a centreline gauge of 40mm (five lego studs).
What scale are trains?
NMRA popular railway scales
| Scale | Ratio | Model gauge |
|---|---|---|
| HOm or 3.5 mm | 1:87.1 | 12 mm (0.472 in) |
| HO or 3.5 mm | 1:87.1 | 0.65 in (16.5 mm) |
| OO or 4 mm | 1:76.2 | 16.5 mm (0.65 in) |
| Sn3 or 3/16″ | 1:64 | 0.563 in (14.3 mm) |
How wide are Lego train tracks?
The train system is sometimes referred to as ‘L-gauge’ among Lego fans, in reference to traditional model railway scales. Lego trains use a nominal gauge of 37.5mm, 5.5mm wider than O gauge, derived from a centreline gauge of 40mm (five lego studs).
What color is Lego train track?
dark bluish grey
As mentioned, LEGO track is dark bluish grey. This somewhat restricts the use of this colour for ballast. However, if we can represent the ties in another colour by covering them with tiles, then this is no longer a consideration. Furthermore, real track ties are rarely dark bluish grey!
What radius are LEGO train tracks?
The standard LEGO® curve track has a radius of 40 studs, commonly referred to as R40 for “Radius: 40.” The image below shows how the radius is measured in bricks, or studs. The distance from the center of the circle of track to the center of the rails is 40 studs, measured by the orange and blue 4-stud long bricks.
What does O stand for in model trains?
O scale (or O gauge) is a scale commonly used for toy trains and rail transport modelling. Introduced by German toy manufacturer Märklin around 1900, by the 1930s three-rail alternating current O gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the United States and remained so until the early 1960s.
