Hi Don and all---
I prefer Pieter Roos' use of "X"scale in the list because that is what we
are all used to seeing. I like your plan, but I think we could improve on
it by adding the scale
relationship to the discription i.e. S scale, 1:64.
This would be particularly valuable to the large scale folks who are sorting
out their various gauge 1 track scales into at least three or four variants
7/8n2, F, G and #1. In this instance, these would be additions to the list
of scales, except for 7/8n2 which would (or could) fall under the larger
than G heading.
Have fun!

Regarding getting things organized.
I would like to suggest the following organization to the home page
As it stands now.....
Train Sizes and Types
Understanding Scale and Gauge
G Scale
O Scale
Lionel
S Scale
American Flyer
HO Scale
N Scale
Prototypes (real trains)
How about:
Train Sizes and Types
Understanding Scale and Gauge
Prototypical (real trains)
Modelling Scales
Scales greater than G
Scale of G
Scale of O
Scale of S
Scale of HO
Scale of TT
Scale of N
Scale of Z
Then within each category, include:
for example....
Scale of S
Small wheel flange (e.g "Scale")
Large wheel flange (e.g. Hi-rail & American Flyer")
Then with "Scale" or "Hi-rail & AF", add more categories?
With this organization, people will learn how things relate to each other
by the choices they make....and that is a good thing.
I agree with someone else today, that the organization really needs to be
worked
on before we get too deep into writing articles.
