Gauge

[edit]

The "1283 mm" gauge is sourced, and will be added to the {{Track gauge}} list. However, this would be an unique gauge. Nearby, existing gauges are 4 ft 2 in (1,270 mm) and 4 ft 3 in (1,295 mm). More exact sourcing could conclude that one of these more common gauges was used. DePiep (talk) 16:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since it was a totally custom installation (and when rebuilt, possibly constrained by using existing equipment or infrastructure) there is no reason for it to conform to any existing gauge.-- Verbarson  talkedits 17:58, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
