If this has been asked before, sorry....
Now, imagine we have a locomotive, that has no route restrictions, and would fit on any Standard Gauge route in the world. It can also go through the Channel Tunnel.
Its going to start a journey from Wick/Thurso in Scotland. How far could it, in theory travel on Standard Gauge track, from there? How far does the Standard Gauge Network let a train go, without physically taking off one track, to put on a different, unconnected line or network?
As an aside, but not the main question; If it was capable of having its bogies changed at a dedicated change or gauge, how far into the world, could it potentially go? In theory I guess the line has to be 'continuous' if that makes sense, from Wick/Thurso.
