    i always thought that ships had boats on them but boats can't have ships, this being the definition...truth is all these distinctions are vague and flexible.

    Think I'd go with the term adopted by the particular railway I was visiting. There's very little more galling to someone working on a (to them) narrow gauge line, when they get a free and unwanted lecture on its miniature status. Or vice versa.

    For instance the RH&DR uses the word miniature in its literature. Though I'd class their diesel loco's as narrow-gauge, their opinion counts more than mine. Kirklees, also a 15" line, calls itself narrow gauge. Fine; that's what it is, then.

    Good rule of thumb i found is that a ship leans out when it turns and a boat leans in.
