LGB tracks

[rebelego]

Has anyone tried LEGO and BBB train wheels on LGB tracks?

Does it work or is the flange too high?

LGB? Light Greyish Blue? I was not aware that TLG made track in that color? I assume though that if they do they would be made to fit the same wheels that all the other track fits?

It´s a good idea.

I haven´t tried it or seen it tried, but even without that, I´m quite convinced that the flanges won´t be a problem.

LGB-tracks have a very high (=Huge!) profile.

For example; LGB rolling stock will NOT run on Märklin 1-track, because of the flanges...

However, I fear that the gauge is not the same as the standard Lego one. BUT... If you excluseively use wheels for cross-beam axles, you should be able to adjust to the LGB-gauge.

If the wheels will negotiate points is another question. (=I have no idea)

@Hrw-Amen; LGB is Lehmann GrossBahn: http://www.lgb.com/en/

He means the gauge. LGB tracks have the same gauge as tracks produced by Playmobil.

BBB's photo gallery has at least 3 examples. One, two, and three.

Excellent! Thanks for the links. In all 3 cases the width of the chassis betweenh the wheels are 5, instead of Lego´s "normal" 4.

Thanks for the info! This looks promising.
