LGB trains for around Christmas tree

Another option i am concidering is piecing a G scale set together out of used stuff. I have a nice autopulse tracker trollier transformer power supply. I used this for HO stuff i had years ago when i was a teenager, and more recently on the clankety lionels i have been using the past few years. I have found out its adequate for the power requirements of LGB g scale.

I have scale O gage 2 rail, all built up from kits from weaver models, atlas, etc, including a nice AHM 080 steam engine kit that was an awesome build, however with small kids in the house theres just too many delicate pieces on these to get broken so they are stored away.

I figure the G gage is a bit more robust, and bigger making it easier to handle for little hands.
