Jbart05, [#welcome] to the forum!! Like chutton01 said, "it is a reproduction of real-world trains in a smaller form." Modeling is to build a scaled down version of a full-size object. Model Railroading is to build a scaled down version of a full-size railroad. Most of us that are building a model railroad pick a railroad company, an era and a place or area that we can identify with and build a scaled down version of the original. For my model railroad I chose Santa Fe and model the buildings and cars to represent the early 1950's along Route 66 east of Flagstaff in northern Arizona USA.
