Well i don't model narrow gauge, i just love the excellent modeling that usually comes from those who model it! There's just something about those little steamers that look like they are a little too big for the tracks!
If I had to start all over, I would probably join the "Narrow Minded Bunch" and go the narrow gauge route, hell, I would more than likely join the true lunatic fringe and model Nn3!. I love scratchbuilding and kitbashing and that would definatly do it for me. Still, as I model the Canadian Pacific during the 1950-1970 period, over the southern British Columbia Route (The Kootenay and Kettle Valley Divisions), I am still compelled to kitbash, scratchbuild, or otherwise modify my rolling stock in order to have a true representation of CPR's equipment which was used on that route. Happy and safe modeling! Cheers, Terry
Terry .. if you are modeling HO gauge .. you can run Sn3 gauge on standard HO .. or, if you model in N guage, you can use standard N gauge track for HOn2. We *do* have a "Narrog Gauge & Shortline" and Narrow Gauge (modeling) forums in here too ya know?

Being from Colorado, I LOVE narrow guage, but have always shyed away from it because of cost in HO . I am very impressed with the new Bachmann On30 equipment and hope that my next layout can be in this scale. Happy Modeling!!
