I use 1/144 scale Can-Do Tigers on Minitrix heavy flats. They are a bit wide, so I add a styrene platform. They smack into a few of my catenary poles. Track foreman not happy with that!

Here’s a quick video. I’m still wanting to combine a tank road with the garden railroad in some way. Maybe a dirt road crossing.

I have to say I built a narrow gauge in 1/16 for my father a couple months ago.
We are going to build some track 8n his garden and then detail it with buildings and also different era style battle or village zones etc. Make it like a model village for 1/16

This was the narrow gauge on test track. Now has diesel sound emulator fitted after video taken.

I am working on a tin turtle for a ww1 era shunting line. More trains to follow of that sort of era of narrow gauge.
