Hi,
I've ventured over from HO land with a question for those with better eyesight than I have. I originally planned on having a mine with workers pushing small ore cars by hand on my circa 1880 Old West HO layout. Now I'd like to kitbash some type of stream powered unit (not a loco exactly, but smaller and pieced-together looking) and a couple of ore cars to run a continuous circle in and out of the mine. Anybody have any suggestions about sources for the engine and ore cars? Would something in N scale work? Or would Z scale be better? Could someone here let me know how wide standard gauge track is in N and Z scale? I'd be mighty obliged for any help.
Doc
