General Discussion / 2-foot Equipment for use on G-gauge Track (and scale vs. gauge discussion)

You might give "Accucraft" a try. They are already dabbling in in 1 to 13.7 (correct scale for G gauge as 2ft)
http://www.accucraft.com/modelc/1menu_13p7_ls.htm Often, Accucraft offers their models in both electric and live steam.
Don't, however, expect these to come cheep. They build quality and their price reflects this. My guess is you'd pay for a WW&F Forney about what I have invested in my 7 1/2 electric engine.
BTW, it will run on 25 foot radius track, which allows a basic layout in my small back yard. And 7 1/2 gauge track actually costs less per foot than G gauge. If anyone is interested in building something like the #11, I'd be happy to pass along what I've learned.
