The concept of 'Scale' is pretty much a legacy feature from trainz initial concept as a Model Railway Sim. Trainz has grown up to become a fully-fledged real-world Train Sim. The ONLY thing that ever changed with 'scale' was the measurements on the rulers, EVERYTHING else is the same.

If you have a route with two different track gauges you do NOT have two different scales. What you have is a route with (probably) standard gauge and narrow gauge - or - (less likely) two different narrow gauge lines.

'gauge' is the distance between the rails: Most main-line railways run Standard Gauge at four foot eight and a half (although there are exceptions), common 'narrow gauges' are three foot six; three foot; two foot six; two foot; eighteen inches and about a zillion others.

'scale' is a modelling term for the proportion of real to model: 'O' Scale is 1:48, 'HO' scale 1:87, 'OO' scale 1:72, 'N' scale 1:148 (or 1:160)

For all practical purposes there is no such thing as 'Scale' in Trainz. There are however numerous 'gauges'...

If you are interested in Narrow Guage then a 'must have a look at' route is the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Project, amongst others.
