When I first set rail to tie on the East Serendipity Railway these many years ago I never thought I would be such a trend setter ... having built dual gauge track with gauges 1 and 2 some years ago, I was pleased to discover that with the rail width used I was left with about 16.5mm (i.e. HO gauge) between the two rails opposite the common rail. (And I was only thinking of running some standard gauge equipment to highlight the nature of our narrow gauge prototypes.)

Bob,
Thanks!
A unique concept if you ask me. Having the "boiler" and heating in the tender allows for room in the locomotive boiler space for cylinder or cylinders. I suspect they use an oscillator- or oscillators.
Well, my first loco was an O gauge Hornby c/w in 1930--so I guess I'll be on the corner begging for pounds sterling to get this Hornby set!! I have HO track, OO locos and structures. So will all steamers be installing HO track between the gauge 1 rails??
My God, this is complicating the hobby! It goes on--N scale--Z scale??
