No, 7/16n2.

Scale 7/16"
n for narrow gauge
2 for 2' gauge  If it is a single digit, it is feet, if two, inches.  (We're
not consistent, but that is what is commonly used.)

If there is no n or w (wide), it is assumed you are modeling standard gauge.
Now in Europe they HOm and HOe.  HOm uses TT gauge to represent a nominal
metre gauge, and HOe uses N gauge for modeling narrower gauges.  We call
HOe, HOn30.

Yes it would be S gauge but not S scale.  That is the point some of us tried
to make.

I'm taking a break before I go back in the basement and work on my S scale
layout of which only a small portion is S gauge.

How about building models of Maine two-foot gauge in 7/16" = 1'-0" scale 
to run on AF track?  It will be S gauge but not 1:64.  Now we have S, 
Sn2, Sn3, etc.  What will we call these 7/16" scale models?  Sn24?
