Guage Railroading
Narrow gauge railroad?
I was looking at the largo Florida railroad and I looked into gauges of railroad. I thought it would be cool to instead of making a model train layout I could find some property and make a layout with ride able trains. I would like to know a website I could go to that sells track, locomotives, and cars and accessories for 5 gauge and 7 and 1/2 guage. Also, for 5 and 7 and 1/2 guage does the track come assembled like a model would or would I have to build it just like standard gauge railroad? I would also like to check into narrow gauge like 2 ft gauge and other narrow gauges.
You must have a lot of cash burning a hole in your pocket.
Go to this web site for info on 7 and 7 1/2 scale.

This size model can cost tens of thousands.
2 foot narrow gage will cost millions since it is a full size rail system ( visit the web site for Durango and Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad)
