   Thanks for replies.   
   You'd probably timber the ends of a wagon - timber between ground and   
   frame of wagon.   
   To be honest, gauge will come down to what is available.   
      
   The ease of moving things on steel-rail wagons...   
   In the hobby mine I've experienced you can easily push several hundred   
   kilos then the wagon - sometimes much of a tonne.   
   If you wanted to use the workshop in no reference to the machines you   
   could easily push them outside for the time being.   
      
   I was serendipetously casting for anything I hadn't thought of.   
      
   As a kid there were still flourspar mines around - one had an adit   
   access with probably 18inch gauge track and a battery electric loco - as   
   I remember.  Coming across it when they were working.  How could I have   
   been there in a weekday as a school kid...  Else they were working   
   overtime on a Saturday morning.   
   A brickworks had a little railway which went for miles getting clay.   
   Could see lines.  Still ran the WW1 supply railway equipment, so would   
   be 2ft gauge - think they were called "Simplexes" - little petrol /   
   gasoline motor.   
      
   I was one of those kids lost on this "interest" - compensation was as   
   reached upper teenage, realised I had a map and timescale of the   
   industrialisation of the world - rather useful :-)
