I was looking at that earlier today.
It is almost certainly been built by a model engineering but quiet likely from castings and possibly a published plan.
It says it is 24 inches long and 5 inches wide so bigger than guage 1.
Its hard to say from the photos but it be atleast 2inch but maybe up to 3 1/2 inch guage.
You would need to get them to measure the distance between the wheels to know for sure.
