What size rail do people use for 3/4 inch scale 3 1/2 inch gauge trains? I don't have any clubs close to me with 3 1/2 inch gauge track so I will have to build my own.

You could use flat bar mild steel, on edge, 3/4" X 3/8" welded to 3/4" X 1.8" X 6" cross ties ( sleepers.)
Larger scales use larger size mild steel bars, they do rust, but are better than Aluminium extrusions, as the white coating ( oxidising,) is corrosive to our little Dragons.
Mild Steel bar, with good ballast looks very prototypical, to full size Railroads.
