Editing Toy train (section)

== Definitions ==

"Toy train" usually refers to a reduced-scale model of a train for children to play with. Some similar but larger vehicles are made for children to ride in, typically in parks and playgrounds; often they run on tires and not tracks. If they are meant to resemble trains then these too are called toy trains. Small trains are sometimes also called toy trains. In India, many trains that run on meter-gauge tracks and that are meant for adults are called toy trains. The trains that run on the [[Darjeeling Himalayan Railway]] are an example.

For highly accurate train models made for serious hobbyists and collectors, the term "model train" is preferred.
