Looking for LGB Neighbors in Nashville!

Tinplate Art, I think us large scale guys are a little rare on this forum.  I collect and run both O Gauge and Large Scale including my first foray into European trains, the LGB Orient Express cars pulled by a Piko Krokodile.  Still looking for more Blue/White Orient Express cars.  I would be happy to converse by email if you wish.  I am just getting into Euro trains after riding a few in Germany in October and am always looking for advice on them.

You could try at a LGB shop in your area: http://www.hudsonclassichobbies.com/trains.htm#G

Wow, I thought you were up really early Fred, until I remembered you are across the pond.

THANKS, FRED and CHRIS for your replies! I have been a customer of Hudson Hobbies for several years now, but his LGB stock is almost exclusively USA prototypes (frown!). My interest is primarily original (Saganer Strasse production) analog LGB models of OBB, RhB, lb. M.&StE, HSB, KPV and other 750 and 1000mm gauge European railways. Truthfully, I suppose I am a "lone wolf", and with my sub-clinical OCD, am very protective of my like-new, pristine, though operating, collection!  LOL!  ☺

Over several decades, I have always run my LGB exclusively indoors, except of course, for my two Frank S live steamers, and a couple of four-wheel Euro coaches to go behind them.

Curiously enough, some of the LGB US style freight cars have "Made in China" on the boxes, and that in itself, is a turn off for me. I prefer the original, German-made LGB, although the Hungarian production under Marklin, seems to be high quality!
