Looking at this (and I know of two "Miniture Railways" one is 9" (Strood, Gillingham, Kent, Uk) and the other 3.5/5.5" (Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent, Uk) Tagging Railway=miniture makes sence (in both cases) but they are quite different animals. I think we should tag the Gauge (Possibly in all cases) and assume Standard Railway Gauge if not tagged. I think a Gauge=width (in mm I guess) is worth adding.
