Track gauges by size
Minimum and ridable miniature railways
Main articles: Minimum gauge railway and Ridable miniature railway
For ridable miniature railways and minimum gauge railways, the gauges are overlapping. There are also some extreme narrow gauge railways listed. See: Distinction between a ridable miniature railway and a minimum gauge railway for clarification.
Model railway gauges are covered in rail transport modelling scales.
