Family Train Set Cicra 1945 (Vintage 8mm Home Movie Footage). Railway modelling (UK, Australia, Ireland and Canada) or model railroading (US) is a hobby in which rail
transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale. The scale models include locomotives, rolling stock, streetcars, tracks, signalling, and roads, buildings, vehicles, model figures, lights, and features such as streams, hills and canyons. A toy train is a toy that represents a train. It is distinguished from a model train
by an emphasis on low cost and durability, rather than scale modeling. A toy train can be as simple as a pull toy that does not even run on track, or it might be operated by clockwork or a battery. Many toy trains blur the line between the two categories, running on electric power and approaching accurate scale.
