G USA 12" Straight (12) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This AristoCraft track is an exact match for the high-quality track that comes with AristoCraft train sets. This track is weather-resistant, so you can leave it outside in your garden for years on end. Even if you're running your trains indoors, this is a huge improvement over the all-plastic track or plastic-and-sheet-metal track that comes with some Large Scale trains.
The pieces that come in this set are 12" long. If you have the space, consider using the 24" equivalent: #30060. The ties on this track are made to look like modern American railroads; this track goes great with trains from AristoCraft and USA Trains. If you're running old-timey trains, such as most Bachmann trains, you might consider the "euro/narrow gauge track" equivalent: AristoCraft # 11000 straight pieces.

Bachmann Trains Pennsylvanian Ready-to-Run Large Scale Train Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bachmann was the first company to make Large Scale (Garden-Sized) trains available for a reasonable price. The locomotive pulling this train has been redesigned about six times since those days, and the coaches have been upgraded, too.
Bachmann has offered this set as a "special offer" or "limited edition" from time to time, but it is now available as part of their 2009 lineup. The train is big enough to draw attention in your back yard, or to cause jaws to drop if you put it around your Christmas tree. If you get this to run outside, though, save the track for indoors - you'll need sturdier track, like that from AristoCraft, to hold up to real weather.
