I noticed Märklin Magazine on Scalemates, but the magazine is not visible on Railwaymates, probably because the publishers scope isn't checked for Railwaymates. Can this be fixed and make the published magazines visible here on R?

1:100 scale has a lot of airplanes and some misc stuff/figures and maybe exactly 1 train subject that looked like a toy. I don't believe this scale is used with model railroading.

Are "trains" generally supposed to be "Functional Model Kits" or "Display Models"? Neither seems correct.

There are also a fair number of entries that are tagged for RWM, but I highly doubt would normally be considered train stuff and were tagged because they happened to have a common train scale. (If I still had a hobby shop, they'd be in the scale models area and not with the trains.)

Freight shed Oberzeisel (Kibri 39306, 1:87)

The EAN code was entered instead of the 39306 ref. number.

After last update of EMP3D kits on Scalemates some of them also ended up on Railwaymates. I've tried to remove the ✔️ from Railwaymates when editing, but it's impossible.
As far as I've been able to see until now (checking 50% of new entries) none of the 2026 releases fit Railwaymates' profile.

I suggest they're removed from R and maybe open up for removing and adding ✔️ under "Scope"?

Good morning,

While tidying up uncategorised models I ran into Triebwagen Roter Pfeil (Märklin 55267, 1:32) which had been set-up with no scale or track gauge. It's listed on the manufacturers website as gauge 1 (maerklin.de/en/products/details/article/55267).

Do we have automatic classification for gauge 1? To my knowledge this is 1:32 on 45mm track gauge, could the classification be added if it doesn't exist yet, please?

Many thanks,

Simon

Can this topic be renamed to SJ Gre OR SJ Gbs?
RWM Topic: SJ Gbs

I only found a Swedish wiki explaining their freight wagon system
svenskmjwiki.se/SJ_godsvagn_litt_Gre
They were named Gre when introduced in 1961. Name changed to Gbs in 1967 as a result of the UIC reform. Adding "SJ" in front of topic will make it easier to to find right topic when adding kits, even though a couple of other Scandinavian train companies also used these freight wagons.
