2. Model railroad layout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_railroad_layout

   Part of an HO scale model railroad layout. In model railroading, a layout is a diorama containing scale track for operating trains. The size of a layout varies, from small shelf-top designs to ones that fill entire rooms, basements, or whole buildings. Attention to modeling details such as structures and scenery is common. Simple layouts are ...

3. Minories (model railway) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minories_(model_railway)

   British railway modelling of this period was almost entirely OO gauge [citation needed]. Typical small model railways were based on a notional GWR rustic branch line terminus, with small locomotives and sparse timetables. [5] Minories was an opportunity to model the more vibrant urban traffic, but without requiring a great deal of space.

4. List of narrow-gauge model railway scales - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_narrow-gauge_model...

   Railway modelling has long used a variety of scales and gauges to represent its models of real subjects. In most cases, gauge and scale are chosen together, so as to represent Stephenson standard gauge. By choosing a smaller gauge than this for a particular scale, the model represents a narrow-gauge example. [1] [2]

5. Pizza layout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_layout

   A pizza layout is a model railway laid out as a circle of the smallest workable radius of curve, on the smallest possible square or circular baseboard. This baseboard can be so small as to look as if it would fit into a pizza box, hence the name. [1] [2] [3] Pizza layouts are not serious scale models, but are to provide a little humour.

6. List of model railways - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_model_railways

   This is a list of model railways. The world's first model railway was made for the son of Emperor Napoleon III in 1859 at the Château de Saint-Cloud . [ 1 ] However, "There is a strong possibility that Matthew Murray, who built the geared-for-safety rack engines for John Blenkinsop's coal mine near Leeds, England, was actually the first man ...

7. Rail transport modelling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_modelling

   Model trains today are more realistic, in addition to being much more technologically advanced. Today modellers create model railway layouts, often recreating real locations and periods throughout history. The world's oldest working model railway is a model designed to train signalmen on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
