When I was young I was fascinated by Model Railways. My passion for Model Trains stemmed from a television advertisement where Hornby trains took centre stage. The marketing people certainly worked their magic on me at the time, seeing Model Trains in action whizzing around authentic looking sets made me hanker for my own model railway. Suffice to say Santa brought me my first model train that year and I added to my collection of Model Trains over the years. Sadly as I grew older I moved away from Model Trains and found other hobbies and I’m not sure what happened to my model railway.
Does age have to be a barrier with Model Railways?
The thing is, I’ve been reflecting on my old collection of Model Trains recently and the more I think about it the more my passion for Model Railways seems to have been reignited. I was looking at a website the other day for a store that specializes in Model Trains, it was called Hobbies and Models and as I looked at the wealth of wonderful trains they sold the years seemed to slip away. Obviously as a child Model Trains seemed amazing and to have a loco whizzing around the lounge in my parent’s home filled me with such a sense of excitement. Now I’m older though I’m thinking about a project on a larger scale that involves Model Trains running through the layout of my dreams.
Model Trains get better with age
When you’re older you have more time to appreciate the care and attention that goes into creating the perfect layout for Model Railways. Modellers spend many years creating their dream track layouts and when the task is complete they can admire their Model Trains running through scaled down versions of country settings or authentic recreations of industrial environments. If anything it’s more enjoyable to create layouts for Model Trains as you gain a little wisdom, the results of your hard labours are there for everyone to see. Model Trains are great when you are younger but they’re just as appealing when you get a little older, I wonder what did actually happen to my old train set?
