3.5" American On Ebay
Not mine and no affiliation. Just saw what I thought was a decent deal and thought I would pass it along. If I wasn't on the other side of the country I would probably pursue.

Re: 3.5" American On Ebay
If it's 1" scale that scales to 9 ft wide, modern train cars are around 10 '-6". So that would probably be a b out right for an early American type to be 9 ft wide

Seller confirmed 3-1/2” gauge. Built by Lou Flagg of WVLS and GGLS.
If you note, the wheels are entirely between the wood “rails”.

SPC marking are on the tender. South Pacific Coast Railroad was a 3' narrow gauge in California. This model captures the flavor of images I found on the internet.
