Has anybody attempted to narrow the gauge to 32 mm (O scale) so that the engine can run on a track width closer to the prototype's two feet?

Jim,
Have you looked, in detail, at the complete drive system of the Forney?

Anything is possible.  Changing the gauge the 32 mm will involve more than just moving the drivers in to 32 mm.  An accomplished machinist should be able to make the change.  It will be no small task.
