   Regarding Tip Top Prairie.
Having watched the video, it looks nice!  I did not know that Bachmann made G3 stuff, and as far as I can see, they don't.  They do make the Thomas range that runs on LGB (45mm) or G1 track.  It is very difficult to get any information on the scale to which these are made, it seems to range from around 1:20 to 1:30, a difference that could be significant.  Does anyone know what the Prairie chassis came from.

Bachmann commissioned Sancheung in China long ago for Gauge O, Gauge 1 and Gauge 3 models, look for Bachmann Brassworks online. The scale used is 1:22.5 One of the item codes for the G3 Prairie is BW1160. https://images.hattons.co.uk/products/BW1160_3.jpg
