A miniature train is a small-scale model of a traditional train, often designed for recreational use. These trains can be found in parks, amusement areas, or private collections, providing a fun experience for children and adults alike. They typically run on tracks and can be powered by electricity, steam, or even battery. Miniature trains are often part of larger model railroads or garden railways, where enthusiasts create detailed landscapes and settings. They can vary in size, with some being just a few feet long, while others can be several meters in length. Collectors and hobbyists enjoy building and operating these charming models.
