Large Scale Engineering Design
The Workshop Gauge section focuses on larger and heavier engineering work than the usual GardenTracks products.
Projects here typically relate to 7¼″ / 7½″ gauge railways and larger, private passenger railways, and structural or fabrication-ready sheet-metal designs.
Workshop Gauge is a one-person CAD project focused on practical engineering for large-scale enthusiast railways.
Designs may include layouts, assemblies, or component concepts intended for fabrication by private builders, clubs, or workshops.
- Designs for home & private passenger railways
- Large-scale layout and structural studies
- Fabrication is carried out elsewhere — this site is design-first
- No certified engineering — concept and feasibility work only
Typical Work
- Large-gauge locomotive concepts
- Structural sheet-metal assemblies
- CAD preparation for laser / plasma / CNC cutting
- Railway layout concepts and mechanical assemblies
- Custom engineering design requests
If you have an idea for a project, feel free to get in touch — I’m always interested in unusual engineering challenges.
