I is the mrc 1300 suitable for G scale trains

I don't run G scale and am not at all familiar with the power needed to operate it. I model HO and N (later on)The 1300 operated both those well but I have some 2.5 grade runs and had to move up to the Tech7. As I add rail I willn have to move up again. I would not recommend it for G scale based on what I have experianced.

Yes. I have (and will continue to) run both of my G Scale layouts using the mrc 1300

It is a very cool set, but I wouldn't suggest this set for a three year old. This is a full o-gauge electric train with a lot of intricate and little parts, meant for older kids and adults. Lionel does however, make a lot of G-gauge sets that are battery operated and perfect for a smaller kids including a Polar Express set.

Yes, it is. This is the track you want if you have the die-cast engines. Don't get this track for the wooden trains or trackmaster trains.

It will. I found it was a little low on DC power to fully power the train. It doesn't overload though.

From lionel's website: Lionel's G-Gauge sets are battery powered sets and are approximately 1:24 scale. Lionel G-Gauge track, which is wider than O-Gauge track, supports G-Gauge cars and locomotives.Lionel O-Gauge sets are electric sets that are approximately 1:48 scale and are what most people envision when the think about Lionel.

This train is compatible with the wooden rail system, but my kids do enjoy their engines off of the tracks. It can also be used with the grey Take-Along tracks (that are designed for the die-cast metal engines), but it might not fit inside of the accessory buildings of that line.

I'm not familiar with the different gauges for trains, but I believe HO is larger. These tracks are for the early childhood train sets such as Thomas the Tank Engine, Brio, Melissa & Doug, etc. The only scale I've heard used for these is "Brio Scale."

Not sure what Brio trains are so not sure if they are compatible or not! Sorry:(

I recently purchased an Athearn Trainpak Power Pack for our HO Scale train system. It works very well and we are well satisfied with the purchase.

Not really. The cars have the same connectors but the wheels are wider on 10558 than on the regular Duplo trains. This means that 10558 cars won't go through switches, bridges, or level crossings. They do work on straights and curves, but are not optimal.

Its a great locomotive for the price. It handles and makes most turns at all speeds. However I notice if the turn is tight or the track leads in to multiple turns it has some problems and come off the track at high speeds. I am a novice with model trains. Im a huge fan of trains and got back into it because my stepson and son love trains. I hope this helps. The end state: If your layout is a moderate and are not running a DCC its a good set.

i would recommend the HO and the easy fitting Snap-Fit tracks. I have track, engines and rolling stock from Triang days, right through to the present Bachmann. The current track with ballast is the best and easiest to operate with. The detail on the HO scale is much better than the N scale. Time passes and the eyes begin to change, thus the HO is better and easy to see..

Hi Denise. It's not any scale or track ready. I asked if it will fit ho model railway and they said yes. But the car itself is actually bigger then a g gauge train. Lol. It's about 300 mm long and about 150 mm wide. It's just a toy car that has the rail wheels tucked up ready for use as in the movie. But they don't move up or down. Anyways it just a big model car with a bad description. If you want one ill sell you mine for half the price I paid, it's never been opened and probly never will. Lol. Ok I hope I helped you not fall into the same trap I fell into. As I thought it'd look awesome running around my track. Ok. Maxx Hi Denise. It's not any scale or track ready.

In answer to your question: Yes the Rail power 1370 will run the Bachmann G scale trains, if you were running a heavier train you would need something stronger. I hope this helps I run 3 sets of HO trains but for lighting I use a separate 1370

If you built a couple 1/144 scale kits you should be good to go the only thing with mater grades is that they take a lot longer than 1/144 kits so as long as you are careful and take your time and follow the instructions you will be fine! Hope this helps

Yes it should work fine. As you stated its O gauge so there won't be any issues. This is a great starter set.

For HO trains, Nickel Silver track (don't buy the cheap stuff), Nickel Silver Power Terminals about every 10" and Power Extension Wire. By using those items, my train has now run flawlessly for over four years. I love it. If you go cheap, you will not enjoy. I used Bachman, but there are others out there.
