This page is devoted to a representative display of toy train and model railway track as it has evolved and diversified from over 100 years ago. It has been designed to include all gauges from Standard or Wide Gauge (In Europe Gauge 2), all the way through the modern day scales and gauges to N and T.

It includes all major manufacturers, a selection of secondary ones, and a cross-section of all types of trackwork and track formations produced over the years. It is to be noted that there have been many minor manufacturers, whose track systems can be hard to identify, and whose origin has been lost to time.

In the many histories of manufactures that have been written, details of available track has generally been given scant attention, leaving one to research old toy train catalogs that can be scarce to obtain.
