Around 1861, about 53% percent of the railroads in the US used 4' 8 1/2" guage, the others using 4'9', 4'10", 5' (21%, and popular in the south), 5'6", and 6'.
So, for example, if I model 4' 8 1/2" southern railroad during the 1855-65 period, am I a narrow gauger? Just askin...:mrgreen:
Thanx for starting this, I will now go to six inch gauge and you will be considered "wide gauge".... BTW, how will I keep my shtuff upright?sign1
