M Scale might be already taken:

"Recently, NMRA proposed some additional scales as standards. The additions to the NMRA list are 1-1/2 inch Scale [1:8], M Scale [1:13.5], F Scale [1:20.3], and A Scale [1:29]. They represent the latest trends in Large Scale modeling practice but sadly, they were never adopted as standards"

Well that just figures!   But looking over Crain's list, they do have 1:300 scale being "ZZ" scale so I guess I need to adjust my preferred nomenclature.  This would also explain why they make the long-sleeper flex track since there would appear to be a small (pardon the pun) market in Japan for ZZ.
