A backyard railroad, often referred to as a garden railway or miniature railroad, is a small-scale railroad set up in a private backyard or garden. These railroads can vary widely in size and complexity, from simple tracks around a garden to elaborate setups with multiple locomotives, rolling stock, landscapes, and structures. Typically, backyard railroads use 1:20.3 scale (G scale) or smaller scales, allowing enthusiasts to create detailed miniature landscapes.
