The electric train is a miniature railway which serves as a toy for children and as a hobby for the elderly. Its origins date back to the late nineteenth century in line with the appearance of ingenious toys apply innovative technologies, which are designed a small train made of sheet iron and driven by an electric motor.
It must be remembered that the railway had become not only the basic media at the time, but in a vehicle that evoked passionate adventures and stories to adults and children.
SCALES:
At the initial scale of the invention was called "1" and the second scale, smaller, "0", which represents 1/48 of the natural scale.
After the Second World War in Germany scarce iron, so that manufacturers of electric trains, which had emerged some time, they had at their disposal sufficient feedstock to resume production and increase it as the expected market demand. That's how we created a new scale, the size was exactly half of the scale "0", and was called "H0" (German Halb = half). This scale has remained until today as the most popular among all existing, allowing manufacture locomotives, wagons and accessories with all kinds of detail, without occupying much space train.
There are also smaller scales, but in those cases you lose detail in the elements making up the railroad. The advantage of the small scales is that fit in the same space more rails.
On the other hand, are made large scale railways again, like the beginning, with which fans get a very detailed reproduction of locomotives and wagons. Some of the brands that manufacture these scales trains have weather-proof models, allowing circuits and riding trains to circulate outdoor even when it rains.
