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.
The

,
signalling
, and roads, buildings, vehicles,
model figures
, lights, and features such as streams, hills, and canyons.
The earliest
model railway
s were the '
carpet railways
' in the 1840s. Electric trains appeared around the start of the 20th century, but these were crude likenesses. Model trains today are more realistic. Today modelers create
model railroad layouts
, often recreating real locations and periods throughout history.

Origins

The first Pullman Railway Coach to enter service in the UK was in 1874, after an assembly of imports from the US, in an operation pioneered by the Midland Railway, working with George Pullman's Chicago company. The coach "Midland" was of Clerestory Roofed design with balconies at both ends. The concept of luxury coaches spread to the other UK railway companies thereafter.
The PCC was formed in 1882 and named after the Pullman concept pioneered in the United States by the American railroader
George Pullman
.
[

]
The company entered into contracts with the railway companies to operate Pullman services over their lines.
Pullman trains offered more luxurious accommodation than ordinary mainline trains. The PCC had its own workshops at
Brighton
. Pullman Car manufacture was also carried out by
Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company
and
Metropolitan Cammell Carriage and Wagon Co.
. The
London, Brighton and South Coast Railway
was the first UK railway company to operate a complete Pullman train, the Pullman Limited, which started on the London to Brighton route on 5 December 1881.
