What do people do with trains on model railways?
apart from collecting them and other models, what do people do with the Model Trains when they have finished their model railway? Do they just run the trains generally or do they go further than that and pretend that the trains are doing real services at real times?
The old adage is "a model railway is never finished" - which is certainly a true statement.
Most modellers will be constantly modifying their layouts either scenically, operationally or Rolling Stock. Modellers fall into two camps: rolling stock/locos, scenery and permanent way.
Rolling Stock/Loco modellers strive to achieve accuracy or constructing little known or rare articles or non-manufactured items of rolling stock locos. This may be to re-create the feel of a specific railway, or because the modeller likes modelling what nobody else has.
Scenically, a modeller might strive to achieve to re-create a scene accurately to the last milk churn or piece of litter. They might be interested in creating trees/greenery, or might be trying to build accurate models of buildings that they have liked of have a link to.
And lastly, permanent way modellers might want to achieve accurate track layouts, based on a location at a specific time, or maybe use a bit of "modellers liscense" and modify the track layout to suit their operational needs.
Or they might want to build accurate track and pointwork, down to the last rail chair or wooden sleeper. These modellers may also be considered to be the ones who will try to achieve operating accessories, such as working signals or accessories, such as windmills or cars (as such by using a modified Faller system).
And lastly, there may be the modeller who will wish to intergrate all three and build an accurate layout with working signals, accurate rolling stock run to a copy of the working timetable from that era, and they may have poured over reasearch material over many months to try and achieve accurate plans for the long lost buildings of that location.
This type of modeller will also spend much of their time constructing these models, perfect in every detail, possibly having detailed interiors of buildings, locomotives with working inside motion, brake levers that are posable and maybe a car with opening doors.
And then, of course, there are modellers that are a mixture of these...and to another adage, "modellers come under a big house of interests"
