Jun-01-02, 11:44 AM (EDT) "How do I...................?" If I am making a new model in 3DCanvas Pro, how will MSTS know the width of the rail gauge? I am planning to model a UK narrow gauge steam engine and then export it directly to MSTS. Just starting the learning curve!!
Many thanks for your time.

To have the wheels match that gauge your wheel spacing in your design would have to be the same and the model built somewhat overscale to appear as narrow gauge.
