Its track measures 1.75 in ( 44.45 mm ), making it larger than 0 gauge but slightly smaller than wide gauge , which came to be the dominant U.S. standard during the 1920s.
During the 1990s, a number of 1 ft 11 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (597 mm) gauge Beyer Garratt articulated locomotives from South Africa arrived on site and were displayed. One locomotive was sold to the Welsh Highland Railway in 2006, whilst another has been under long-term restoration.

The scale of 1:24 in combination with 45 mm (1.772 in) track is an attempt to model North American and UK 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge or 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge trains in better ...
