Why go 7-1/2" gauge when you could go to full 12" 15" 18" 20" or even 24" or 600cm gauge REAL Feldbahn railroad with REAL Feldbahn rolling stock, not caricatures (and often not good ones) of full size engines.
Well thats the way I would go if I have the real estate for it.
But thats just me.

Certainly is.
The actual representation of the real 1:1 loco is pretty simpllistic I agree but the reason for me saying that i want one is not to do with the fact that it it looks exactly like the prototype (it obviously doesn't), it was in the same vein as me never having the room, but still wanting a sit on mower. It would be great driving it around the estate (if I had one). Some people just have no romance![]()

I reckon its more likely to be 5 inch & 7 1/2inch. 3rd rail may well make it an interesting place to visit & watch however!themole said:beavercreek said:Now this is what I call garden railroadin'
