    You call your size 5" gauge.
    Is that the same as 1:16?
    I am building a Cargo wagon scale 1:14 but I also need weeks?
    The cargo wagon is part of an scale forklift truck.
    Because we had the forklift truck to load an unload the wagon.
    And that is what I want to show in RC.
    SO inam.looking for rails and wheels.
