Yup. Old gray.

   What scale are you working to? 45mm track at standard gauge gives about 1:30 but it looks narrow gauge to me.

Well, this MOC is actually a digression from my G scale course, because I’ve basically built it around the dark blue curved slopes. So I think this trolley is about 1:18 scale, or basically miniland scale (1:20).

Of course, using trucks that are gauge 1 (1:32) will give the trolley the appearance of narrow gauge, which I suppose is possible, given the need for trolleys to be able to make sharp turns.

I’ve taken a few more pics, posing miniland scale figs with it. I’m going to go upload them now.
