train sets

Tabletop railroad toys

Train sets are miniature railroad systems, typically toys or hobbyist collectibles featuring scaled-down locomotives, cars, and track that can be assembled into working layouts.

They range from simple children's toys to elaborate model railroads with realistic scenery, switching yards, and multiple trains: He spent years building a train set that filled the entire basement.
