Narrow and Standard Gauge
 
I'm building a OO gauge layout, and I'm contemplating adding a Romney Hythe and Dymchurch style narrow gauge line. If I was to use N gauge track and engines would it look alright, or would it be too out of scale?

Sorry, this is just not on. RH&DR is 15 inch gauge. OO is 4 mm = 1 foot.
So 15 inch gauge at 4 mm = 5 mm. N gauge track is 9 mm. The nearest ready made track is Z gauge at 6 mm.

How good are RTR locos for Z gauge? Sorry about asking all these questions, but I'm not knowledgeable on such matters.

Expensive and continental I'm afraid!
