Well as some have missed the point.
America was an exporter of Locomotives to other countries and while the US may of had very little 2ft and 2ft 6 gauge railways other countries had extenisive networks for example
Cane Trains of Eastern Australia
Victoria Australia (Puffing Billy)
South African Railways 2ft
Brazian 2ft6
Cuban Cane trains
The list goes on, but the point is these railways all, at one time imported American or had American styled locomotives.
To add to this is Countries such as Australia (where I live) O Scale is not popular at all due to it's large size is barely seen. Also on many australin layouts due to there being 5 different gauges being used throught the country (5ft3, 4ft8 and 3ft6 for mainline)(2ft & 2ft6 used on cane or light railways) gauge) have multiple gauges on one layout.
Hence my question as Ameriacn styled Locomotive would sit well on an australian layout as well as giving the option of having multiple gauges on one layout.
