I would not care if it ran on 9 mm std gauge or pure 6.5 mm narrow gauge, as long as it is a Garratt. Rhodesian, LMS or British industrial, Australian, S African, Argentine, Tasmanian, Spanish, Algerian, Dutch, Russian, India, Burma, Ceylon, Thailand, Turkey, Iranian, Indo-China, Brazil, Bolivian, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Sudan, Ethiopian, Senegal & Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast (Ghana), Nigerian, Madagascar, Mauritius, Belgian Congo, Angola, Mozambique, Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika. All these countries ran Garratts. Any good model would be better than what we have now.
Six Garratts were built by the Italian firm Ansaldo in 1939 for use in Ethiopia. I have quite a lot of information on most of the Garratts from around the world, things like Class, Wheel Types, Cylinders Dia X Stroke, Boiler Pressure, Tr active Effort, Fuel & Water Capacity, Grate Area, Weight in Working Order, Heating Surface if anyone is interested.
