G-Gauge

You could get a G gauge train set, but if you have plans to sell it later you may not be able to. I have seen that there are some items that just don't resell that well, don't know about G gauge. With O gauge most Williams items are yours for your lifetime(they won't sell again), at least down here in southern Florida.

Think about that and then make a decision whether to buy or not.

I'm a little confused. You say you don't have room to keep the PE O gauge set up all year but you are considering getting a G scale set to keep up? I would get another small O gauge set so you can use it on your future layout.

Certainly you could get a G gauge set for the purpose you describe. Who knows? You might be a convert to large scale once you own one...

There are several of us on the forum who dabble in large scale in addition to O scale.

Yes, Leikec, is right.  I am also a G scaler.  Why do you want to go with a G scale set as opposed to another O scale set?  And, yes, O scale does take up less room.

Sure.  The axiom is, the littler the kids, the bigger the train should be.

One nice feature of G-Gauge is that most everything runs on their 4' diameter track.

My LGB Uintah mallet 2-6-6-2 runs just great on minimum diameter G-gauge track.

in addition to the O gauge and S gauge trains, I have Bachmann and LGB G gauge sets. The advantage of G to me is that i can set up the track outside in the garden or on the back deck and run trains without taking up home space (wife's domain). I don't exactly have a garden railway, but outdoors takes a lot of pressure off of getting things put away when wifey's had enough. BTW, I have sold several G gauge train cars and have never had a problem selling them.
