The Toy Train Reference Library is a library for members of the Train Collectors Association (TCA) and the public.[1] It has material about the history of the toy train industry and is located in the Train Collectors Association Headquarters building in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, US.[2] Also in the building is the National Toy Train Museum.

It is open to all visitors, and contains a collection of information on the history and characteristics of toy trains, and the industry that produced them, in the United States and around the world.[2] It is a research, not a lending, library,[2] and covers 1,300 square feet (120 m2).[1]
