backyard railroad
__NOTOC__
A backyard railroad is a privately owned, outdoor railroad, most often in miniature, but large enough for one or several persons to ride on. The rail gauge can be anything from to or more. Smaller backyard or outdoor railroads that cannot be ridden are called garden railroads.
Hundreds, even thousands of backyard railroads exist, especially in the United States and United Kingdom. Walt Disney built his Carolwood Pacific Railroad at his home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California. It also inspired Disney to surround his planned Disneyland amusement park with a working, narrow gauge railroad, the Disneyland Railroad.
==Track==
Tracks for the layout can be either portable (i.e. removable), or permanent. The former may be of fairly simple welded steel construction, but the latter are usually built from miniature steel or aluminium rails attached to wooden, plastic or even concrete sleepers (US: ties), and put on a proper foundation of crushed stone ("track ballast"), just as in full size. Turnouts (US: switches) are also fabricated from these basic materials. Usually, prototypical appearance is sought for, but some portable tracks may not closely resemble real railroad tracks.
