Loading Guage

Hi All I've just been looking at the loading and track guages of various other countries railways and it seems our guage is puny compared with other world railways. I just wonder how big British locos and trains would have been if we had kept Brunels broad guage.

Surely a lot of the structures on the former Broad Gauge lines will give us some clues, as they wont have changed. I believe that the GWR loading gauge was the most generous of the big four.

Best wsihes,
