7 1/4"Narrow is the only gauge I have built. I like an engine I can sit inside & fire with a proper shovel. I also like running in reverse which seems to produce more power.this would be difficult with anything smaller. I have to build large as I seem to spend more time searching for bits that I have dropped than actually building them, any smaller & I would never find them.
