Awesome garden !!!! Have you ever tried to put together 1:16 scale trucks and LGB. I really wonder is there big difference with them ?

LGB ( 1:22.5 scale ) and 1:16 scale stuff doesn’t mix very good .
The difference is to big .
but with a little fantasy you can cheat and come up with some illusions ,
by using Bachman 1:20.3 scale stuff to represent a narrow gauge industrial railroad.
I been messing around with that since several years .
Some of the scale comparisons and ideas you can see here :

and at most Indy truck-shows I had some rail-road setups .
The biggest one was at the 2007 Indy truck show :
