Compared with roads, it's typically very easy to find out the exact
gauge of any railway. As an example, in less than a minute I found out
the gauge of the Ffestiniog Railway from their website: 22.5 inches.
So my vote is for:
gauge=22.5in (using 'in' or 'mm' as units)
We'd obviously not desire this key/value for "standard gauge" railways
= 4ft 8½ in = 1435 mm.
