12.5 inch track gauge

[edit]

This is an unique gauge (nowhere else used or mentioned). The source here is The Railway Age, July 1, 1898., which indeed mentions that gauge. However, it is strange that for this one track (6 locomotives) the company would create a new gauge, while they also build the common 12+58 in (321 mm) (of 18 inch difference). In other words, it may very well be that the 12+12 in the source is a miswriting. - DePiep (talk) 15:32, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Smallest locomotive"

[edit]

I clarified that this was the smallest at the time. Since then, locomotives have been produced for hauling passengers at 1:8 and down to 1:10 scale. See Live steam. Note: I rarely edit, so forgive me if I did this wrong. 162.191.64.100 (talk) 04:52, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
