The miniscule 7.25" gauge gauge of the miniature train tracks had me in splits!

            The miniscule 7.25in. gauge track of the miniature steam railway in the Toronto Railway Museum looks lilliputan in comparison to the standard gauge (4' 8.5in.) track it is crossing! The miniature railway was unfortunately not operation al on the day I visited- one of the museum staff told me that the concerned person had not turned up for work that day! The Roundhouse Park Miniature Railway (RPMR) is a 7.25in. gauge passenger-carrying miniature live steam railway that allows visitors direct experience of genuine steam technology. The miniature railway provides a revenue source to the Museum as well as a vibrant interactive experience.  The RPMR is an important addition to the park providing a mix of education and just plain fun for visitors of all ages. The miniature steam railway offers rides with tracks which loop through the park starting from Don Station and passing all major exhibits in a gentle scenic ride. Visitors can see, hear and smell exact working replicas of historic steam and diesel locomotives, functioning precisely as did their larger cousins at the head of their trains on Canada's railway network.(Toronto, Canada, Nov.2015)
