Decimation renormalization transformations are investigated for systems of continuous spins. The usual arguments against decimation can be avoided by considering products of decimation and spin scaling transformations. With the simple local types of spin scaling normally used for continuous spins, even these product transformations will have no fixed points for lattice dimension greater than one. A Gaussian fixed point for one-dimensional models with short range (but not only nearest neighbor) interactions is exhibited. A series of scaling transformations of increasing generality is investigated. It is found that a product of a nonlocal spin scaling transformation and a decimation will produce the usual fixed points, but that this type of product transformation is effectively much more a block-type transformation than a pure decimation.
