Scaffolding

There were a series of errors with the Razor page scaffolds::

Pages/Location/Details.cshtml.cs(21,16): error CS0118: 'Location' is a namespace but is used like a type [/home/generic/src/framer/RazorTute/RazorTute.csproj]

TODO: Find cause. Hypothesis - name clash with built in, passing unqualified model name to scaffolding.
