I just found this, someone proposed a railway=minature, but never followed up with having it voted on. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Miniature_railway ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I've been reading up on this a little, model railway is under 2.5" (6cm), the little electric trains on the indoor tracks and some slightly larger outdoors ones but I don't think any are big/strong enough for passengers. Then there is miniature railway which is from 2.5" to 7.25"(18.4cm), these ones can carry passengers although all the pics I've seen the passengers ride on top of the cars not in them like typical narrow_gauge line, ie old cane trains. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Alternatively if the area is named "model railway" and tagged recreation/hobby, and the rail route just marked as a recreation track? I was thinking along similar lines as the remote controlled race car track question yesterday/today.

That's still twice the width or more of this model railway track: http://scrms.org.au/ I've seen another one like it in Casino, NSW ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Nambour mapping party that was held today
There is a narrow-gauge tag which I used for the Big Pineapple railway. Maybe that's a better one?

Additionally a person came over to talk to us while we were trying to figure out a plan of attack at mcdonalds, they took a copy of the walking paper print out I had made and they seemed interested in walking tracks. After that we all headed out and were going to meet up about 4, although I'm not sure where Jeff ended up. I'm still going through fixing up streets from traces and also using the traces to re-aligning the yahoo sat imagery so other streets no one traced can be more accurate hopefully. Just before heading back to meet up with Ashley and David at the park I mapped out a model railway, I've tagged it railway=rail but that seems like something meant for heavy rail not model rail. http://maps.bigtincan.com/?zoom=18&lat=-26.625656303179&lon=152.95586003249 All in all I think it was worth putting together, especially publicity wise and getting others aware of OSM. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Nambour mapping party that was held today
Good to meet some fellow mappers. We arrived back about 3:30 and left about 4:15. Spent the time in Macca's showing Neek how to use Potlatch and start adding some of the bits we marked out (yesterday was her first OSM/GPS experience). Neek will be using this towards a Scout badge activity so will slowly fill in the blanks over the next week.
