The Mount Gambier line in South Australia was fitted with some 3-gauge steel sleepers when it was "temporarily" converted, [ambiguous] pending later proposed conversion to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) (which did not occur, the line being abandoned instead).

The Class 3 carriages were withdrawn from mainline service on 12 December 2014. [1] The remaining B3 carriages are all used on Flåmsbana where they are hauled by NSB El 18 engines. These carriages feature a higher passenger density than what was used on the mainline. A B3 carriage is 23.5 metres long and weighs 36.4 to 42 tonnes.
These railways have been rebuilt to standard gauge or closed down. Some private railways had 750 mm (2 ft 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) and one had 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in). A few railways partly still are operated as museum railways, specifically the Thamshavn Line, Urskog–Høland Line and the Setesdal Line. The Trondheim Tramway is also narrow gauge.
[13] [14] They were thus in need for locomotives to haul the internal torpedo trains with liquid steel between the steelwork's blast furnaces and continuous casters. Ten Di 8s were thereby sold, [ 15 ] of which the first five were shipped on 12 December 2011, [ 11 ] and arrived on 20 December, [ 16 ] and the last were delivered in January 2012.

Following the decision to complete the railway to Oslo in 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge, the line was upgraded in 1904. Electrified in 1954, it continued to serve as part of the Bergen to Oslo main line until the Arnanipa Tunnel and the 7.5 km (4.7 mi) Ulriken Tunnel , which opened in 1964, resulted in the closure of the line ...
A garden railway's scale is usually in the range of 1/32 to 1/12 (1:12), running on either 45 mm (1.772 in) or 32 mm (1.26 in) gauge track. 1/32 scale (1:32) is also called "three-eighths scale" meaning 3/8 of an inch on the model represents one foot on the real thing.
