The problem as far as I can see is that everything is referenced to the center of the track. The only way I can see at the moment would be to build rollingstock with offset ref points. That would work with the vehicles running in the designed direction. Turn them round through 180* on the track and they would look VERY odd

I've had a long discussion about GW broad gauge, we came to the same conclusion as Dick. Well there was a way involving animating the broad-gauge stock to shuffle left/right across the track depending which way round it was, but it's not exactly practical :P ( would need the entire track to be a signal too! )

Any Chance we could get a Mudhen and a few Rio Grande boxcars to run on those narrow gauge tracks?
Regards,
Rich S.

Not to throw cold water on this but how many people are interested in narrow gauge stuff? There's no routes, no rolling stock, no nothing to support this. I think time would be better served giving more items to main and branch regular gauge product. JMHO.

Yes, I'd pay oodles of cash for some D&RGW narrow gauge.
