I'm basically an HO and British 00 train modeller but I have some questions regarding G-Scale for a family friend. I don't know much about G-Scale so I thought I'd toss these questions our here.
This friend is thinking of buying her son a G-Scale Lionel train set for Christmas. Here are her questions:
1. Can they lay the track on bare floor or do they need a platform/base of some sort to place it on?
2. If they wanted to put it around the perimeter of their Xmas tree, is it easy to buy additional curved track at other retailers in Toronto or online?
I've told her that I think G-Scale is designed purposely so it can run on floors and carpets (you wouldn't do this with HO or N because they pick up dirt & lint, but I think it's different with G-Scale).
Thanks for any feedback! I'll try to provide more info if needed.
