This is a list of model railways.
The world's first model railway was made for the son of Emperor Napoleon III in 1859 at the Château de Saint-Cloud.[1] However, "There is a strong possibility that Matthew Murray, who built the geared-for-safety rack engines for John Blenkinsop's coal mine near Leeds, England, was actually the first man ever to make a model locomotive."[2]
