Model railroading is a hobby that involves creating miniature train layouts, often featuring realistic landscapes, buildings, and scenery. Enthusiasts use various scales, such as HO or N scale, to build their models, which can range from simple setups to elaborate displays. Participants often enjoy designing and constructing their layouts, incorporating elements like track systems, scenery, and rolling stock. Many model railroaders also appreciate the historical aspect, replicating real-life trains and routes, and may join clubs or attend exhibitions to share their passion with others.
