My son has the Harry Potter Lego train (FYI, his is the non-motorized version) & is interested in buying some Lego track for it. We also think it would be fun to buy a Lego Flying Scotsman or Mallard sometime, possibly even a motorized one!
I know a fair bit about model trains but almost nothing about Lego trains, so I thought I'd check to see if any Gauge members have any info in this area? I have several questions & almost don't know where to start. For example, it sounds like (from what one Lego/toy store here in Toronto told me) that Lego no longer makes Lego track and that you can't get it any more. I also phoned our new Legoland just north of Toronto and they don't sell it either. However, I've found out online that there is a whole Lego train following out there -- clubs, shows all supported by grown-up men and kids who like Lego trains.
I'm also trying to figure out whether to get Lego electric track (similar to MRR electric track) or simply plastic track.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
