(*) Parkeisenbahnen were an initiative by the former socialist governments in several Eastern European countries (notably East Germany) to build railways for children to learn how to operate real railways - a bit like an apprenticeship. Many of these are now operated as pleasure lines for everyone to enjoy.

I have decided to put on hold any plans for a 2' gauge line here in New Zealand. It is not easy to source equipment from overseas and any line built to a gauge of 540mm or more requires an inspection every year by Transit New Zealand - just the same as the standard (3'6") lines.
I am not sure what I am going to do at the moment, but I am erring towards going 15" gauge and building practically everything myself.
