Was at the Greenbergs show last weekend and had some time to rome around and found this LGB set sitting a vendor table for $75.00. I opened up the box and found it had no track but came with a powered tender and lights installed on the cars and a power pack. One of those RARE Train show deals. Now all I need is to find out when it was made, It runs very well. Could be my new Xmas tree train. Nick
Ya dun real good, kid!
Nice find dude! It’s a nice looking set too.
Nick I thought you didn’t like that funny little 1/22 scale stuff, but then that is alot easier to get going around a tree than an SD-70 and a couple Auto-racks
Nice buy! You better take down that picture before Vic see it!
thats a find!
just the loco with powered trailer sell on german ebay normally between 200 and 250 euro.
Thanks Guys, It was a good deal. Vic, Small train are usually not to my liking but in the last couple of years Ive bought 4 or 5 sets to use as train fodder for around my train show. Easy to set up and tear down and the kids luv seeing trains around the show of any type.
As far as my Xmas tree is concerned, I will just have to increase the size of the tree til the Auto rack make it around it ok.
Never seen an authentic LGB model with LG & B markings !

It was an Ontario line, the London, Georgetown, and Brampton.
Coulda been…
I do not know if other responses are ‘tongue in cheek’, but ‘L.G.&B.’ is the “Lake George & Boulder” line. Initially a garden railway owned by an American individual, the rights to the name were purchased by Lehmann with compensation by way of the product line. Look to the railroad insignia, it shows a lake and a large mountain.
The set as depicted by Nic is a very common variation on the LGB “L.G.& B.” starter set line with a further red version and a yellow version.
Well Tim I beleive there is a chap in the Brit site who calls his line the Log Gravel & Brick RR
Vic,
any two bit Harry can make a connection with the intitials ‘L’ ‘G’ and ‘B’, but I am basing my response on anecdotal Lehmann history.
Is the engine a split case? If so, these were mostly made before 1995.
Is the gold sticker still on the bottom of anything? this sticker has numbers that give the date.
