The railroad term "gauge" refers to the spacing between the rails. A "narrow gauge" line or train is therefore one where the spacing between the rails is less than the "standard gauge" of 4 feet 8.5 inches.
Any train track in which the rails are spaced closer together than Standard Gauge, which is 56.5 inches. Common Narrow Gauge widths in North America have been: 15" Gauge 2 foot gauge 30" gauge 36" Gauge (most common in US) 42" Gauge (most common in UK commonwealths)
No, the track is too narrow for the train to run on, as O guage has a wider wheel base than OO Gauge
Narrow gauge is a train term. It refers to railroad tracks that are spaced closer together than what is considered standard spacing.
A narrow gauge railway has numerous advantages. Narrow gauge railways usually are less expensive than broader gauge railways. Narrow gauge railways can be used in mountainous terrains. They can also be used as temporary railways.
I'd imagine it would be one of the express trains on New Zealand's 3'6" railways.
Lochaber Narrow Gauge Railway was created in 1925.
Lochaber Narrow Gauge Railway ended in 1977.
The standard distance between the rails on a train track, known as the gauge, is typically 4 feet 8.5 inches (1,435 mm) for standard gauge. However, there are other gauges used in different contexts, such as narrow gauge (less than 4 feet 8.5 inches) and broad gauge (wider than standard gauge). The choice of gauge can affect the stability, speed, and capacity of trains.
