{{Sidebar track gauge}}Fifteen-inch gauge railways were pioneered by Sir Arthur Percival Heywood who was interested in what he termed a minimum gauge railway for use as estate railways or to be easy to lay on, for instance, a battlefield.[1] In 1874, he described the principle behind it as used for his Duffield Bank Railway, distinguishing it from a "Narrow Gauge" railway. Having previously built a small railway of {{RailGauge|9in}} gauge, he settled on {{RailGauge|15in}} gauge as the minimum that he felt was practical.
