i dont know was bored looking at my post wars and i got to thinking these ran on electricity years back before they had electric cars or vehicals so technically since they are a vehicle just a small one wouldnt that mean that model trains are the first EVs on the planet?
i just thought of another question off hand is Railscope any good for O guage
That’s a good question @Umbreon_Of_Alton…
Technically, yes, but maybe not in other people’s eyes.
No.
Electric cars date to the 1830’s:

But the first electric model trains didn’t appear until 1896:
