There’s a nostalgia associated with model trains and railroading — even if it’s unspoken. Railroads take us back to an earlier era. A more basic time. When spending a week or more on a train was seen as a luxury — an event in itself — not at as merely a mode of transportation.
You’ve probably already scouted some model railroad shows. You’ve no doubt recognized the camaraderie and the passion these folks have. And yes, you’re interested in becoming a part of that.
