Linn was only stating an observation that S and TT embodied most, if not all
the qualities of the popular scales available, and the hobby may have taken
a different turn if either one had existed in any noticeable quantity prior
to WWII.
Of course, "G" scale hadn't appeared yet - that was a province of the live
steamer set.

If you notice, the popular scales are roughly half or double the size of the
next popular scale. True for 0/H0/N; and also true for S/TT. #1 (1:32)
would be the next larger scale in the S/TT system (and Z would be the
smaller). #1 track gauge is used for G. When LGB started the large scale
trend, they used 1:22.5 because that made the track gauge meter gauge. 1:32
would be correct for standard gauge models on #1 gauge track.
