LEGOs and scale electric trains(MOC)

[Greenstar]

Does anyone ever combine their LEGO bricks with scale electric trains?  I’ve found them to be compatible for track structures for 1/87th scale systems as well as structures such as elevated rail stations and bridges 

I’ve also used Legos as the base for a moc up of a section of track in Columbus, Ohio where a derailment occurred back In 2012 for something I was doing

Märklin even has a LEGO-compatible H0 base train car: https://www.maerklin.de/en/products/details/article/44734/

LEGO used to even promote this idea decades ago and those cars are actually LEGO cars in H0 scale.

That would be awesome for scratch building custom rolling stock such as armored cars in HO scale

also it’s a shame LEGO stopped promoting the idea because it might have helped them make some more money from modelers like me who use both systems on a regular basis

There is also a version in G gauge by LGB (owned by Maerklin now): Starter set They also sell the wagon base only.

Purists beware!

Spoiler

I have read that the few bricks included are not Lego.

I know about that one

Sadly I don’t own any G-Gauge stuff.  Only HO, but it’s still cool to see this kind of stuff for the ones who want an easy way to scratch-build cars of their own
