Looking for suggestions and feedback on a very unique Idea

This is very unique and to my knowledge hasn't been done in this scale but I'm currently working on making a 3ft gauge plateway in 0 gauge at a scale of 1:43.5, im currently planning to 3d print as much as possible the loco is not currently designed to be motorised but i do believe it is possible to do so. I've currently made a small scale prototype at 00 gauge but that proved to be too small for for a clean traverse of corners, I believe that it becomes it didn't allow for the clearances required and left the track multiple times, I believe I have solved these problems by upscaling and shortening the loco wheel base. As for the 0 gauge plateway I have currently got a design for a second of track that can be easily linked together, a set of points and a locomotive based on trevithicks catch me who can as it's the simplest design, if my tests prove successfully I will likely design a simple wagon and coupler system. In the future I'm planning that if successful I might look to makeing the loco battery powered and not to run a current thought the tracks due to the design complexity of such a system. If anyone has questions I'm happy to answer them also happy to get feedback I'll post pictures when I have something substantial to show
