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.
