Yup, I've seen a 7/8 Forney, it's about the size of your average small 3.5"
scale engine, boxcars are huge too.

One small issue you seem to have overlooked is loading gauge. Simply
being able to run on the same gauge is not the only compatibility issue.
Many folk started in UK using Mamods, and built their lines with
clearences to suit. Sadly when they were visited by folk with models of

I think you are very probably on the right line with to much work
