A model railway is a miniature scale replica of a railway system built as a hobby — complete with tiny locomotives, carriages, tracks, stations, tunnels, and often entire miniature landscapes called layouts. It's a quintessentially British hobby with a passionate following across all ages. Model railways require patience, craftsmanship, and no small amount of disposable income. They range from simple oval tracks for kids to jaw-dropping museum-quality displays that take decades to build.
