Welcome to our website on railroadiana fakes, where you can find pictures of bogus and phony stuff that people claim to be genuine railroad artifacts. More and more of this stuff is being produced, and the only way to keep on top of it is to call it for what it is. At the bottom of the page is a list of links to other websites on fakes and a note to webmasters. We will add to this hall of shame as we go along. All thumbnails link to bigger images unless otherwise noted.
