Notability criteria for layouts[edit]

Also posted on Rail transport modelling task force talk page

The following are tagged with {{Notability}}

There are also the following in Category:Famous model railroads which have not been tagged:

Carolwood Pacific Railroad - notable
Gorre & Daphetid - unsure if notable
The Great Train Story - notable
Pendon Museum - notable

I'd suggest that a model rail layout is notable if it satisfies one of these criteria:

A reasonable number of people who are not rail modellers have heard of it (the ones I've put notable next to all satisfy this criteria)
It was significant in the development of the hobby - (Pendon may satisfy this too)
