It's that time of year again, suddenly Christmas themed crappy plastic G scale trains operated by four C batteries everywhere!

My family has one of those (amongst other actual G scale trains like LGB, Aristocraft, etc) and at the very least, the freight cars are somewhat usable. They have LGB style couplers and, honestly, they're not too bad. All you'd need to do is slightly modify them and they'd be great for normal G scale operation.

My parents got a train set one christmas to set up around the tree. It was Christmas themed but looked like a regular train. None of this santa elf deco. But they stopped setting it up because I would tie G.I. Joes to the train tracks and try to set up fights on it's roof.

I have a set that looks just like this from when I was a kid. A bit worse for wear.
I should probably go dig it up and fix it now that I have the skills and can probably find replacement parts for the broken bits easy enough.

I remember there being a more toned down Christmas train version that I wanted but never got. From memory it was the same train just painted differently, more whites and reds and green.

I intend to pick up one or two of the better G scale Christmas trains this year after Christmas when they're all on special.

The 4-4-0 is referred to as "American" type.

Yeah, but I mean is there a word that refers to both the 2-6-0 and 4-4-0? Like, see how they're very similar visually?

I guess "19th. Century American" is probably the best term for them.

TFW I live near two model train shops next to each other and some how surprised they've managed to stay around for this long. Model trains are such an extremely niche hobby. I'm sorta scared to imagine what the community is like.

There is no community. The whole point of a hobby is to collect for yourself. If you find someone else that shares that hobby then good for you. What's important is if you yourself love it.

I've never been a big train anorak but I do think older trains are interesting, nice looking things. I've always quite liked diesel trains actually, there's something oddly satisfying about how powerful they look. And Lego trains are cool, though that might be because Lego anything is cool.

Also, Christmas themed armoured train when?

I've met plenty of them, they were all literally just like men who are into trains: awkward, socially inept and most likely diagnosed aspies. Being autistic about choo-choos isn't genderable, anon.
