This toy train (some prefer the term "model train") has been in my family since 1951. My dad used to set it up for Christmas every year and I'm trying to keep that tradition alive.
This is an S-gauge American Flyer. The Plasticville houses also date back to the 1950s.
How does this fit in on FA? Admittedly, it's a stretch, but there are some pigs, horses, and cows grazing near the barn in the far background.

I think model applies when you go for realism or hyper-realism at a scale size.
Toy is moreso applicable to something you break out and break down a few times a year.
Could be wrong, but thats how I've understood it (with my 10 years in model railroading xDD )
That is neat though! I was going to say that looks like Lionel, but its Am-Flyer. Is it S gauge?

Yes, it's an S gauge. The Matchbox cars I use to complete the layout are out of scale, but for me, this set fits with your definition of "toy train". I'm not super concerned with realism. For me, it's just about tradition.
Thanks for clarifying the definitions and for commenting.
