Train miniature à passagers

Les trains miniatures à passagers sont des trains miniatures pouvant accueillir des passagers en utilisant des locomotives copies de machines existantes à échelle réduite mues par le diesel, l'électricité ou la vapeur vive.

Ils sont appelés ridable miniature railway en anglais, riding railroad ou grand scale railroad en américain, Parkeisenbahn en allemand (train ou chemin de fer de parc).

Au sens restreint, il s'agit de lignes de de matériel qui relèvent essentiellement du modélisme ferroviaire de grande échelle : de 1:12 à 1:4, soit des voies 127 mm (5 pouces), voire 89 mm (3,5 pouces) à 356 mm (14 pouces).

Au sens plus large cela inclut des lignes qui utilisent du matériel de chemin de fer de faible écartement, conçu et produit originellement pour des emplois utilitaires et d'écartement de voie allant de 381 mm (15 pouces) à 600 mm.
