    So you're trying to model either 15" gauge live steam or 7'-1/4" gauge [1:8] live steam?

    Looks like you're going for 15"!!

    look to the wikipedia page for more info...it's vague, but I think it's good enough. There's mention there of 1:2 and 1:4 scale operations being done.

    I had thought about doing something similiar

    i was going to do it in a city park or around a downtown block so the scale could be a little more flexible. We have several small towns that have kiddie rail roads that are mocked up out of probably lawnmower parts, but it is fun for the kids.
    Couple Z flat cars with HO kids pointing and laughing and I think it would look nice.
    Since I'm not doing exact park replica of a ride...I think it should be nice.
