Once you've decided you want the size, quality and fun that only LGB can offer, how do you take first step into the "World of LGB"? It's easy. Just start with an LGB starter set…

The First Step
Every LGB starter set includes everything you need to get started:

- a rugged locomotive
- a selection of matching passenger or freight cars
- a full circle or more of track
- a powerful, safety approved power pack (or transformer with separate throttle)
- all necessary power cables; easy-to-read instructions and fun accessories.

Plus, with LGB starter sets, you have a choice -- passenger or freight trains, European style or East Coast sophistication. Wild West spirit or work train action. LGB passenger cars have opening doors and removable roofs. (So you can add passengers!) LGB freight cars can be loaded, the tank cars can be filled and the crane car really lifts. Why? Because LGB trains are engineered to be played with, not just looked at.

More Trains with more power means more fun for you! Want to start bigger? The LGB MTS Digital Starter Set gives you the foundation for a complete model railroad empire. It includes two locomotives equipped with LGB's "Multi-Train System" digital technology that will let you control up to 23 locos independently anywhere on your layout. That means realistic action and fun together with friends and family.
Plus, the LGB MTS Digital Starter set includes a big 6 amp transformer, a fully featured MTS Central Station and a Loco Remote. So you'll be ready for your railroad to grow. And you get a big selection of track. So you can build a real working, big fun layout … right out of the box!

HISTORY
In 1968, Wolfgang and Eberhard Richter created something unique: LGB, the world's first model railroad for indoors and outdoors. Today, LGB still stands alone, far above conventional toy trains:

LGB is big. The letters "LGB" stand for "Lehmann Gross Bahn" or "Lehmann's Big Train." LGB trains are G-scale - four times larger than conventional HO-scale trains.
LGB trains are easy to put on the track, even for kids. Details on LGB trains are big enough to see and strong enough to withstand frequent handling. But you can fit a full circle of LGB track in space less than 1.3 meters (51 inches) wide.

LGB is quality. LGB quality is so high you can run your LGB trains outdoors, in the sun, in the rain, even in the snow. Major body parts are made of impact- and weather-resistant materials. Gearboxes are protected from dirt and moisture. Track rails are machined from solid virgin brass.

LGB quality is backed by service stations and representatives around the world. Most of all, LGB quality is backed by the Richter family. We've been making quality toys for more than 120 years. And if you need us tomorrow, we'll be there.

LGB is simple. LGB trains are designed for people who want to have fun with trains. Track sections connect quickly without tools. Electrical connections are simple with color-coded wires and terminals. Everything is made to work together … and work right.

LGB is complete. The ever-growing LGB program includes more than 600 quality G-scale products. There are steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, electric locomotives and more than 150 freight and passenger cars. There are more than 30 different track sections. There are signals, overhead catenary systems, bridges and figures. And with the LGB Power system of traditional analog and digital Multi-Train System controls, you can operate any layout, from a starter set circle to a massive garden railway.

LGB is fun. LGB trains offer a unique way for families and friends to have fun together. Everyone can load the trains. Everyone can run them. And everyone can help lay the track, build the buildings and plant the flowers.
With LGB, you don't just stare at a TV or monitor. You can get outside, really talk to people and build your own railroad empire. After all, if a hobby is really interactive, shouldn't more than your eyeballs move?

LGB, the world’s first "G-scale" train, was born in 1968. But the family history of LGB goes way back to 1881, when Ernst Paul Lehmann founded a small toy-making company in Brandenburg, Germany.

Lehmann had a keen eye for new ideas, and his "patent" toys, like the honking Tut Tut auto and flying Ikarus airplane, soon gave "Ernst Paul Lehmann Patentwerk" a worldwide reputation for toy innovation. Ernst Paul Lehmann’s cousin, Johannes Richter, joined the company in 1921 and built on Lehmann’s reputation with patented toys like the ingenious Skirolf skier.

After the East German government seized the company in 1948, Richter moved his family and the family firm to Nürnberg in the West. Then, 20 years later, Richter’s sons, Eberhard and Wolfgang, introduced the family’s boldest invention: LGB—The Big Train.

Today, Ernst Paul Lehmann Patentwerk is still family owned, with Eberhard and Wolfgang's sons, Johannes and Rolf, at the helm. The LGB family also includes the many dedicated employees at Lehmann's home in Nürnberg and at LGB of America. They craft LGB trains using the latest in computer aided design, precision machining processes and robotic production techniques.

Together, the LGB family has centuries of experience creating innovative products and serving demanding customers like you. That's one reason why LGB trains are the best selling big trains in the world.
