Working at Precision Model Works

Model Trains and miniature art is a multi-billion-dollar industry in the western world. The history of model trains and miniatures is deep – while model trains appeared about 150 years ago in Germany, miniatures go back thousands of years in various parts of the world starting their journey in architecture and war strategy. While these arts and technologies have flourished and have been a part of the popular culture in many countries around the globe gradually making it a large industry, sadly in the Indian subcontinent, it never flourished.
