I would not call "S" a smaller scale. Save that for N-Z-T.
We have a lot of undersize items in O gauge which are actually closer to S scale.
And O gauge often uses tighter curves than S scale.
I'd say that "Zero Gauge" is the biggest of the "smaller scales." S "scale" -- emphasis on "scale" -- is the largest size Gilbert managed after rejecting the larger "0" since it required so much more room. Lionel's compressed 0 & 0-27 served an important purpose in that they allowed operation in an area large enough only for that ridiculously tiny Half-Zero.
