That loco is absolutely wonderful!
Pardon my ignorance but this loco at 7/8ths scale equates to 15" gauge running on SM32 track? Or 2" running on 45mm track?

Brewery GaugeAccording to my Googling, the Guinness Brewery track gauge was laid to 1' 10", pretty close to 60cm gauge, so I would say that the Sharp, Stewart locomotive (Guinness tram) in 7/8th scale would be running on 45mm track gauge.
Interesting, went out to Chili's for dinner and had a Guinness with my burger. Good stuff.
