I always based it upon what the railway does. If its a tourist attraction below 2' gauge its miniature. If its a mostly freight line its narrow gauge.
There are special cases, such as Bicton, but this is the only one i can think of!

I suppose at the end of the day its down to everyones definition of the key terms. The trouble with setting a definition is that there will always be the borderline cases that could be defined under several catagories/ descriptions.

Personaly I agree with Craigs boundaries, however it may be advantagious to add a category of "Miniature using Narrow Gauge principles" in this category I would place lines like Moors Valley (Who also market themselves as Narrow Gauge rather than Miniature).
