I'd sure have to disagree with

Have you noticed that most narrow gauge rolling stock is narrow,

from the earlier poster.


Brasil has stock - and indeed locos - of the same type that runs on
either 1000 mm and 1600 mm. They have GE U20C locos that identicval
except for trucks.

The iron ore carrying railways EFVM and EFC have full North American
sized diesels and rolling stock.

South Africa and Japan are further examples of 'large' 3 ft 6 in gage
rolling stock.


Much of the Austrailian less-than-standardard gauge stock don't look
small to me either.
