G Scale Track Geometry Series – #3 Train Line 45

Train Line’s track program consists of 3 main curve radii.

Train Line 45 Track Geometry Curve Radius Radii R2 R3 R5

Switches are offered all three radii, although curves are only available the for smaller two.

Radius (mm) Radius (ft)* Diameter (mm) Diameter (ft)* Name Comment
900 mm 2.95 ft R2 curves + switches
1200 mm 3.94 ft R3 curves + switches
2100 mm 6.89 ft R5 switches only

*converted from mm, rounded to two digits

Summary: Train Line 45’s geometry is quite limited, yet Train Line’s ‘R3’ and ‘R5’ are quite close to the corresponding LGB radii, so there’s potential to mix and match between the brands.

Preview of Train Line RhB Ge 4/6

While waiting for LGB’s RhB Ge 4/6 to arrive, I have also purchased Train Line’s Ge 4/6 as I thought it would be interesting to provide a comprehensive comparison of both models.

I have already published a 60+ photo gallery of the Train Line model. A full review will follow shortly. Spoiler alert: it’s going to be interesting…

Train Line 45 Delivers RhB Gmf 4/4 #242

Train Line has delivered the RhB type Gmf 4/4 diesel switcher with number 242. The Gmf 4/4 is available in two versions.

The base version suitable for analog and digital operation is available under article number 2050100 for € 999,00 MSRP. A version with sound is available under article number 2050102 for € 1.149,00 MSRP.

Train Line chose mXion as the supplier for the (sound)decoder this time, while they previously relied on ZIMO decoders for instance for the recent RhB Ge 4/6 electric locomotive, or the older Harz Mallet and 99 6101 steam locomotives.
