Here is the sweetest little hobby railroad that I have ever seen.  It is 7.5”-gauge based on a heavy 2-foot-gauge prototype such as Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes or Bridgeton & Harrison.  It looks like they are using something like 12 or 16-pound rail.  By following the heavy 2-foot-gauge pattern, they are able to achieve about the smallest gauge that would allow people to ride inside of the cars and locomotives.  They have really captured the feel of the narrow gauge prototypes.  This narrow of a gauge probably would not be realistic to handle your big hay bales because of their size, but it would handle the weight without a sweat.  It is just that the bale size would place the weight into an unstable overhang.  But it does show what can be done by fiddling with the proportions of a railroad.  There are tons of photographs strung out in this site, including some showing the construction of rolling stock and trucks:    <A href="http://www.frolin.net/mmgs/srcl/">http://www.frolin.net/mmgs/srcl/</A>
