chart on track guage

For prototype gauges, 1 foot to ridiculous:

Google Railroad gauge widths, then find the one that links to paravoz.com.  I tried to post a clickable link, but it diverted to an unrelated commercial site.

The variety of gauges is enough to make you crazy, even Hitler's proposed 8 foot gauge (or was it 10 foot) they guy thinks too big you know...

I wont include the narrow gauges in the model, thats known. 

you got your Z, N, TT, HO, OO, S, O G, #1, 3", 5" 7-1/2, 15, then

2,3, 4' 8-1/2" 5 foot, meter gauge, and some off standard gauge sizes a little wider or narrower

on some streetcar lines, the excuse for that for an off standard gauge gauge,... to prevent steam road lines running freight over streetcar lines.

FYI it's GAUGE, and not guage.

I would like to know if anyone has published a complete track guage chart which begins at the smallest model railroad guage all the way up through typical track guages of railroads around the world. I understand that the Russian track guage is different than European standard guage. Why -- just for general knowledge -- all of that information in one place. Has Model Railroader already done that? Could they?
