Talk:List of narrow-gauge model railway scales

Title
May I suggest to change the title? "(List of) narrow gauge model railway scales" can also be read as meaning, that there are real life narrow gauge sizes that have a model scale. -DePiep (talk) 10:39, 12 May 2014 (UTC) ...and it can be read that there are "narrow gauge models" (i.e., after scaling) that have some prototype. -DePiep (talk) 10:45, 12 May 2014 (UTC)


 * So what are you suggesting instead? A typical WP:WIKINEOLOGISM such as "List of scales used in railway modelling for hypothetical narrow gauge subjects" is equally unclear to everyone.
 * Secondly, all of the gauges here represent real-world subjects. As has long been the case for railway modelling (H0/OO in particular), the precise real-world gauge represented is not an altogether accurate match for the original gauge. Gnine has a scale equivalent of 8", but it represents gauges of 7¼ or perhaps 10¼. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:45, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It is grammatically ambiguous. The "neologism" you mention is not a neologism (all words are existing). I'll think about it later. -DePiep (talk) 12:01, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll leave it to the creator to make the improvement. That was my intention here anyway. I don't think it would come over friendly when I push a move so shortly after the creation. -DePiep (talk) 12:51, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
