I recently purged some of my large scale trains (had too many) but here is a partial list:
LGB 2085D - Hanomag Mallet - one of LGB's biggest steam engines.
LGB 2070D - Zillertalbahn steam engine with 3 Zillertal passenger coaches
LGB 2043 - RhB GE 4/4 with 2 passenger coaches and baggage car
Frank S Live Steam - currently in pieces
You're the second one who's pointed that out. Now that I think of it, I don't recall seeing one before myself. I paid the princely sum of $25 for the whole smack including a 6' x 10' oval of track.
That would be the set. The original track is long gone, a much tighter radius like your set. The track I have is in LGB boxes and is a much wider radius.
The steam tractor I bought 3 years ago and never had the nerve to fire it up. It is a Mamod TE1a from about 1970-71 we figure, a sweet running engine that was apparently a presentation piece of some sort as it came with a fitted wood base that at one time had an engraved plate on it.
Here is my G scale train. This was about 2 years ago, it's now mounted on the ceiling and goes around my son's room. I started him on trains at around 12 months.
It's a crappy picture from my iphone, but you get the picture. The grid is from aristocraft trains, with peco s hook hangers. It works really well, but being fully suspended, sudden stops of the train cause the entire thing to sway.
Other than that it works perfectly. We have brackets to wall mount as well, but I need to position it in a way that wouldn't take it under the smoke detector. The grid is actually large enough to run two trains, but I figured 1 was enough.
Oh, and I was quite happy to get PRR coaches, since I live on a branch of the old PRR line. I actually took an excursion tour this past fall that used two restored Reading engines and NJ Metro cars that went right past my house.
