   The museum operates a 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (190.5 mm) gauge miniature railway on which these locomotives pull trains that the public can ride. The museum also has multiple smaller gauge railroad layouts for members usage in 4.75" gauge, 3.5" gauge, elevated 1 gauge, and g-scale.

   Often the gauge has little to do with the scale of a locomotive since larger equipment can be built in a narrow gauge railway configuration. For instance, scales of 1.5, 1.6, 2.5, and 3 inches per foot (corresponding to scales of 1:8 to 1:4) have been used on a 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in ( 190.5 mm ) track gauge.

   Gauge '3' corresponds to NEM II scale, also known as "Spur II" in Germany. The National 2.5 in Gauge Association continues to support live steam passenger hauling in 2.5-inch gauge using MES tracks. They use a "scale" appropriate to the original prototype modelling both standard and narrow gauge locomotives to run on 2.5-inch track. -1:16

   More recent diesel and electric locomotives do not have a wheelbase problem, as they have flexible bogies, and also can easily be operated in multiple with a single crew. The Tasmanian Government Railways K class was 610 mm (2 ft) gauge; 99 ft (30 m) radius curves; Example Garratt. 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) metre gauge; 25 kg/m (50 lb/yd ...

   By contrast, EMD built more than 8,000 Dash 2 locomotives. Although the Dash 7 Series failed to surpass the Dash 2 in terms of market share, its 4-stroke engine returned better fuel consumption figures than the 2-stroke engine fitted to GM-EMD locomotives after the 1970s oil crisis.
