And later the Great Western Railway got the most beautiful locomotives of all times! I don't know the current status, but some years ago here in Argentina around 40% of the railroad system were using "wide gauge" = 1676mm, wider than standard but not as wide as the original GWR. Now most of the passenger lines are defunct and cargo lines trend to use narrow gauge = 1000mm so the proportion may be much smaller now. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
