I know there isn't a lot of 16mm interest here, but Loco Remote have launched a kit of the Donegal's No. 1 railcar.

It's supposed to be 15mm. Thence prototypical on 45mm gauge track.

We're not so scale sensitive in 16mm, but when OO Irish models are running on 16.5 mm track which is too narrow for even GB gauge......

Ironically Loco Remote clearly market the CDR railcar as 15mm scale as opposed to a 16mm scale model.

I can do no better than to direct you to the website of the 16mm Association. 

 

'For forty years we have been helping and inspiring people of all ages and abilities around the world to get involved in narrow gauge railway modelling in the scales of 14 to 16mm to the foot, usually in a real garden railway environment'

Have to say that the Loco Remote logo is very clever!
