00 gauge models are copyright of their manufacturers, and do not fall under exemptions for utilitatian objects. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:53, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Note: I intentionally left out one image as the model appears to have been made by the photographer. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:59, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Keep All scale models are copied from real trains, without any added creativity. If there is a copyrigth problem (and I don't think so) it would be with the designers of the real trains. Same for houses/buildings. --GaAs11671 10:06, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Afraid not, as 00 is not technically a scale model for British trains - the running gauge is too wide or something. Thus I would argue that there has been creativity put into it and thus it is eligible for its own copyright. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:16, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Just a technical aspect. I stick to my opinion. --GaAs11671 11:41, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Keep I am of the same opinion as GaAs11671 the 00 scale was created as a british scale because the motors available at the time were too large to fit within a HO scale british outline model. The track is the same guage as H0 but the scale is larger for the reason I just mentioned, therefore 00 guage was not created for Aesthetics but for practicality.

- Keep There is always scope for a legalistic argument over "sculptures", "models", "representations" and the need for creativity within copyright. However treating OO differently to O / HO because the gauge is slightly inaccurate is ridiculous. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:16, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not arguing primarily based on the gauge, I just don't believe that such non-utilitarian objects qualify for a copyright exemption. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:29, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- Then we should delete Category:Model railway scales and all the child categories. Singling out OO is inappropriate. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:45, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- OK then. I wasn't intentionally meaning to single this one out, I just didn't think about other scales. -mattbuck (Talk) 18:12, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

- Keep Andy Dingley has it right. And, by the way, O scale has the same problem in the USA -- the scale is 1/48, but the track gauge is 1/45.2. . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 15:23, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
