The term "semi-scale" is an invention of the manufacturers to massage the description of a not to scale model.
All the words used in O gauge by makers, semi, scale, Railkerelying scale, Railking, Premier, Imperial, Lionmaster, are inventions of the makers to confuse and muddy the waters. I don't recall this happening in other scales, it's an American O gauge thing.

I'm not sure I've ever heard someone say "Rail-king Scale", or anything other than semi-scale really. The rest are just product lines that are semi-scale.

I looked up British coarse scale and found they look pretty true to life (I don't know much of anything about British railways though, so they could be completely off). Would they still be considered toys? Or more of a model for adults?
