About National Model Railroad Month
United States
Ends: Nov 30, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
November is National Railroad Month and highlights the work and passion of model railroaders. Free public workshops are offered nationwide on the first Saturday of the month.
The first model railroad appeared in the 1840s, with the entire track encased in a carpet. Model trains appeared with the invention of the first steam engine, and the toy trains were steam-driven. Sir Henry Wood of England was said to have created the first steam-driven toy train. These miniature trains were called "Dribblers" and "Piddlers" because they left a trail of water drops in their wake.
In the beginning, the toys were created by instrument makers, and Theodore Marklin of Germany was the first to develop track sections and the electric train in the late 19th century. In the early 1900s, Lionel entered the market with the most realistic-looking and acting miniature trains, and the company dominated the market. Today, it is a multi-million dollar industry with elaborate scenery, accessories, and options.
Model trains are still a favorite gift. A model train running around the Christmas tree is an endearing representation of the season and the delight they bring to adults and children alike.
