model trains
Tiny railroad replicas
Model trains are miniature replicas of locomotives and railway cars, typically running on scaled-down track systems.
The hobby encompasses building layouts with scenery, structures, and operating signals.
Common scales include HO, N, and O gauge, each representing a specific ratio to real trains.
