LGB have had some ups an d downs recently, but here's a link to their website if that may hep, only in German, I'm afraid:

http://www.lgb.de/de/index.html

Have you tried eBay? There have been some for sale on eBay.co.uk

LGB is still selling rails, but you can also use rails from PIKO.

The cheapest way to get some will be ebay, but take care of the quality, lots of rails have broken plastic rail clambs...

Hi,

there many g-scale tracks worldwide, but every company has his own system.
Radius (geometrie), cross-sill (railroad tie) and some more.

Have a look to some international G Scale Tracks to combinate with LGB.
Important 45 mm size and the high from the track.
Here the different Aristo Craft vs. Usa Trains - US or EU



LGB Geometrie:

Aristo Craft:

Usa Trains: (Enjoy the Flash Video)
