Beside the 0 inch Indian monorail there was a short (0.4 mile) 20 cm/7.874 inch gauge line with 2 fireless 0-4-0 steamers in a hospital in Münster/Germany around 1890 - 1920. The RR was used to collect the used linnen and transport it to the laundary and for other supplementary transports between the hospital buildings.
No public passenger transport.
Even after years of research I found no pics of that particular line only a short article in a local newspaper archive from 1892.
