A general question, new comer to the construction world of garden trains, just looking to know, what general deminsions are the trains for a gauge 3, gauge 1 and gauge 0 tracks.
The simple answer is : anything you feel like!!! Some people (myself included) run multiple scales on fixed gauge track. But if we take the case of a pure std gauge locomotive then the following applies.
Gauge '3' 205mm high by 105mm wide. 13.5mm scale.
Gauge '1' 152mm high by 78mm wide. 10mm scale.
Gauge '0' 106mm high by 55mm wide. 7mm scale.
Strangely enough it is often CHEAPER to build in the bigger scales than the smaller scales...
