Model Railroads
| Most of us have had a toy train when we were young, some of us just never got over it and have collected many more of them into our retirement years. Model railroading is a fascinating hobby ranging from the tiny N gauge trains to huge Gauge 1 garden layouts. The first miniature trains appeared soon after the real ones in the mid 19th century but were rather crude compared to the replicas of later years. |

Keeping Track Clean An important factor in keeping track clean is eliminating sources of dust and dirt. Among the best ways to do this is to put your layout in a finished room. If you have a layout in a basement or attic, install a ceiling (solid or suspended) in the entire room or just over the layout to minimize the amount of dust and dirt that gets on the rails and scenery. Listed Condition of Collectibles Mint: brand new, often in its original, unopened packaging with all original paperwork included. In 1901 Lionel made its first electric train for use in store display windows. "Tinplate" is a term applied to toy trains originally built of thin stamped metal, but it includes plastic trains as well, the over-riding characteristic being that they were built for mass-market enjoyment rather than precise scale.
