Same, the only Narrow Gauge route I own is Clear Creek, but that isn't allowed due to the BNSF licensing issue. I'm gonna assume the Corris Railway and the Swiss Routes are all narrow gauge?
I have just taken down my earlier post, cause now I am not sure what gauge the US routes are, as I am not very up to speed with US gauges. Research needed methinks. "Update" - research complete - See you all next week
All US routes are Standard Gauge 4ft 8.5in, or 1435mm. Except Clear Creek, which is 3ft Narrow Gauge. EDIT: Does anyone know if Japan is considered Narrow Gauge? All three real life lines we have in game are 3ft 6in (1067mm) which is considered NG by this chart.
From Wikipedia: A narrow-gauge railway (narrow-gauge railroad in the US) is a railway with a track gauge narrower than standard 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in). Most narrow-gauge railways are between 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄8 in) and 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in). Cape Gauge (3' 6"), as used in South Africa and Japan, is narrow gauge.

Thanks guys, I'm pleased with how it looks to. Plenty of other good 'shots, so well done folks. I think narrow gauge always has loads of character.
