:'''Comment''' There is a clear distinction between a [[Scale model]] and a toy; which I seem to remember being discussed here before. I don't think merging these two is actually gone to improve things. [[User:Twiceuponatime|Twiceuponatime]] ([[User talk:Twiceuponatime|talk]]) 09:21, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
::*I think you are wrong to suggest there is a clear distinction between the two. There is a continuum. Some products are clearly toys, some are clearly models, many can be seen as either. Toy trains are all made to a scale. [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 14:56, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
:::*...and they are quite distinct. Twiceuponatime is right - there is a clear distinction. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...''<small>[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color: #008822;">wha?</span>]]</small>'' 15:44, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
* '''Reverse merge''' or '''do not merge at all'''. [[:Category:Model railroad manufacturers]] would seem to be a better umbrella term, but as [[:Category:Toy trains]] is a distinct subcategory of [[:Category:Rail transport modelling]], I do not see an obvious reason to merge the manufacturers. There is however a continuum between the two. [[User:Place Clichy|Place Clichy]] ([[User talk:Place Clichy|talk]]) 10:54, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
*'''Oppose'''. Model railways and toy trains are different things, as Twiceuponatime points out. There are some companies, however, which manufacture both, hence the incorrect perception of a continuum. I would, however, support a renaming of the proposed category to {{cl|Model rail manufacturers}} as a language neutral form.
