I have no layout here in my apartment, if I did have a layout, D and F would be of great interest. For the short stretches of track there are, E works fine.
What I’d like to have is a layout with switching opportunities & some kind of carry-with-you controller would be good for that.
With having autism and a couple endocrine and mitochondrial diseases, sound is too much, even took the speakers out of all but one or two of the several Bachmann Big Haulers bought from a disability settlement.
Kept it/them to run at model train club and/or a friend’s outdoor layout. In several of the 4-6-0 I use the 9v battery for the sound system for on-board headlight, or at least class light, power. Which came in handy a couple nights at Mike’s when the track power died in the dark, the train was immediately locatable by all the class/marker lamps PRR used and the track-powered headlight told us when track power was restored.
Sound with the ability to simply turn it off as desired/needed is welcome idea.
Z - about that, the other G scale variation I do is Gn15, G scale with HO track and wheels/mechanisms to represent 15inch and 18inch gauge farm, mining, industrial, trams: available HO systems work fine for it.
F, M, “Z” with “Z” being 1:29 which is among the most popular scales that you omitted. If you don’t differentiate by scale, W and Y are the same thing.

From Wikipedia
Z scale is one of the smallest commercially available model railway scales (1:220), with a track gauge of 6.5 mm / 0.256 in. Introduced by Märklin in 1972.
My own are:
F scale
Bachmann in both G and F
Accucraft in 1:24 and F
LGB, Aristocraft and Bachmann rubber scales
Z, as I explain at train shows and Vermont Flower Shows where the Vermont Garden Railway usually displays, when asked what scale we are running today:
Z ist zo klein you can’t hardly Zee it!
N is no-see ems…
HO = Half Observable.
S = Sometimes Observable
O = Observable
G - GOSH I can see it!
(0r Garden Scale, as we see today)

DMZ (1:20 scale). But is there any practical difference between Gauge 1 and G Gauge? I mean 44.45 mm vs 45 mm? …
Gauge 1 / Spur 1 are nearly identical twins in Scale 1:32
the infamous “G” was introduced by LGB and stood for “big”, “tall”(“gross” in German) and for “Garden” for their more or less 1:22.5 scaled narrow gauge trains. but it did not stand for any gauge or scale. standard gauge in “G” would be 64mm. (almost, what the Brits call “Gauge 3”)
D F L W/Z (1:20.3)

“F” often used with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), so this mode going from zero to max, max to zero could be considered digital rather than analog.

E. N W but would like to change to battery with radio control. Also no steam only modern 4 axle diesels, but maybe an F7 if one come available in the scheme I want
A, D, E, N, W
Thanks to everyone who took part in this survey which is now closed. We will publish the results shortly.
