Whois & Analysis for modelrailroader.com

Railway modelling (UK, Australia and Ireland) or model railroading (US and Canada) is a hobby in which rail transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale.

A scale model is most generally a physical representation of an object, which maintains accurate relationships between all important aspects of the model, although absolute values of the original properties need not be preserved.

This enables it to demonstrate some behavior or property of the original object without examining the original object itself.

The most familiar scale models represent the physical appearance of an object in miniature, but there are many other kinds.

In model railroading, a layout is a diorama containing scale track for operating trains.

The size of a layout varies, from small shelf-top designs to ones that fill entire rooms, basements, or whole buildings.

The track on a railway or railroad, also known as the permanent way, is the structure consisting of the rails, fasteners, railroad ties (sleepers, British English) and ballast (or slab track), plus the underlying subgrade.

It enables trains to move by providing a dependable surface for their wheels to roll upon.

For clarity it is often referred to as railway track (British English and UIC terminology) or railroad track (predominantly in the United States).

Tracks where electric trains or electric trams run are equipped with an electrification system such as an overhead electrical power line or an additional electrified rail.

A magazine is a publication, usually a periodical publication, which is printed or electronically published (sometimes referred to as an online magazine).

Magazines are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content.

They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three.

At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location.

In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles.

This explains why magazine publications share the word root with gunpowder magazines, artillery magazines, firearms magazines, and, in French, retail stores such as department stores.
