Whew! Does anybody know of any other scales? I've written these down over the past few years. Half of them I don't even know what they are. Plus, you have all the narrow gauge variations.

That's quite a list. I don't know what some of those are.
One more is 7/8n2, uses G track for 2 foot gauge modeling.
Enjoy

If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way.

Isn't 9mm and Nscale the same thing?

Don't forget that the Japanese version of N scale is actually 1/144th SCALE, using n GAUGE track.

Even within G-gauge (or G-scale, depending on who you want to argue symantics with), there are different scales -- 1:20.3, 1:22, 1:32, 1:xx ad infinitum -- there must be at least 10 different scales that can be run on G (#1 gauge) track. Now that we're all thoroughly confused......
And then, there were what I call the "no scale" trains -- children's wind-up and Brio wooden trains, the Jim Beam train set that were actually porcelain decanters, et.al.
