Minimum and ridable miniature railways

[edit]
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.
