One way you can know a true model train hobbyist is by the way he relates to his collection. He will never ever address it a toy train, it will always be a model train. To in reality refer to a collectors train set as a toy, is a little bit of an insult, and they will not be long in telling you.

The model trains are the accurate replications of the real thing.

To begin with, the first toy trains were operated by winding them up, Then several were in reality run by steam. This is relating to the 19th century period where they were popular in USA and Europe. Soon enough, they became more high-tech in that they could change direction, and still puff smoke. They were quickly becoming like the real thing.

The realism and detail found in the model trains of today is exquisite. There are numerous gauges and scales of these model trains available.
