4. Railroad Memorabilia: If your wife is an avid collector, consider getting her antique railroad memorabilia, such as a train whistle, a lantern or a conductor's hat, etc. You can find such items on online auction sites, antique shops or train enthusiast stores.

5. Gift Card to Model Train Store: If you're unsure which specific model train items your wife might prefer, consider giving a gift card to a model train store. This way she can pick out the items that appeal to her from the huge variety of products available at the store.
