What do you like about trains?

OK. If you're actually reading this, you probably have more than a passing interest in trains.

But what is it about trains (model or prototype) that interests you?

Train whistle nostalgia

Some of my earliest childhood memories of the late 1940's and early 1950's are of steam and diesel train whistles echoing through the Missouri and Ohio hometowns of my grandparents.    And when I got to see the monsters that made those sounds, I was hooked on the real things and then their models.     Even today, as I'm playing with my own grandchildren, distant  locomotive whistles can take me back to wonderful memories of my grandparents and train rides in an instant.
