Hello Pierre, and all.
I have a good friend into engineering manufacturing and developement, and
also a hobby engineer. he has proved, at our club, that to build a loco, it
is cheaper, time, effort, (planning) cost, and availability of materials,
the larger you go, is cheaper.    With smaller than 5" gauge, more portable,
one person can put loco into boot/trunk of car.
My personal opinion, smaller gauge L/Es spend hours, breaking up lumps of
coal.
