Given its twisty, highly graded route, and modest speeds, metre gauge tracks might well have been more appropriate. There are plenty of metre gauge railways and tramways in Europe and Asia, so standard kit should readily be available. Generally in the form of slimmed-down and lower-capacity "normal" vehicles. AIUI modern trams come in two standard-ish widths, 2.65 m and 2.3 m, though there are many exceptions on legacy lines which need something different. If you can get away with the lower capacity of smaller vehicles, do you need light rail in the first place? If your stock is going to be full-size, why bother with narrow gauge? -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
