Me and my father are looking to start a large LGB model railway in our
garden and to get us started we are looking to buy any well-priced and
good-condition track, locos and rolling stock with a European theme.
If anyone has details of any LGB items for sale, please get in touch.

Any thoughts on the best (or optimum) thickness/gauge of brass to use
for a loco chassis, and any recommended online suppliers?
