My Dad used to model O gauge trams in England.
Then moved on to 1:24 scale narrow gauge (using O gauge track to simulate approx 2'6" when he moved down here.
He could then model anything from 2' to 3'6" without looking too ridiculous.
The scale was easy to build and fit power to, but hard to model well. My Dad liked to cut corners a bit and never got to the kind of tidy build I see in that pub and never went into too much detailing.
He's only ever built a half dozen buildings. So no street scapes for us!
Sounds a similar vintage to you Ray - maybe a few years older. He was born in '33 and spent his formative years during the War!
