A toy train is a toy that represents a train. It differs from model trains in that it emphasizes low cost and durability rather than scale models. A toy train can be as simple as pulling a toy, it can’t even run on tracks, it can be operated by clockwork or batteries. Many of today’s model trains can also be considered toy trains, as long as they are not strictly to scale, but rather rugged for children. A toy train simply refers to a reduced scale model of a train that provides play to children. Some trains (such as those for children) can be used with or without rails and are also called toy trains because they are like toys to children. However, the term can be used beyond the standard definition. In India, many trains that run on meter gauges, they are big enough for adults, not just for children, are still called toy trains, for example, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is also called toy trains, Although even adults can ride.
The term toy train does not apply to professional collectors’ hobby train models because they are nearly real, so the term model train applies to usage. Before the 1950s, there was little difference between a toy train and a model railroad – a model railroad was by definition a toy. Marketing toys and clockwork trains are aimed at children, while electric trains are aimed at teenagers, especially teenage boys. In the 1950s, the modern emphasis on the realism of model railways became popular. Consumer interest in train toys waned in the late 1950s, but the phenomenon has seen a resurgence since the late 1990s, thanks in large part to the popularity of “Thomas the Tank Engine.”
