Miniature railways are small-scale rail systems designed for recreational use, often found in parks, gardens, or amusement areas. They typically feature tracks that are significantly narrower than standard gauge railways, allowing for smaller locomotives and carriages. These railways can be powered by steam, diesel, or electricity, providing a fun experience for both children and adults. Many miniature railways are built by enthusiasts and can vary in size and complexity. Some are designed for public rides, while others are private collections. They often include detailed landscapes, miniature buildings, and even model trains to enhance the experience for visitors.
