Check out detailed recreations of American and European railroads—from replicas of Union Pacific stretches to European-inspired landscapes with a German fachwerk-style buildings. Inspired to make your own models? Then browse rail-centric goods such as books, locomotives, engineer garb, tools, and kits. And if you're interested in setting bigger wheels in motion, head outdoors to test your brawn on a real handcar that roves up and down 80 feet of track.
