1.Elwood Neff always liked trains,but the truck driver didn't become a model train enthusiast until he picked up a copy of Model Railroader magazine that he found at a truck stop.After that,he spent his free time playing around with small-scale(小型的)model trains at his home in Indiana.Over time,his interest in the hobby grew."My eyesight kind of forced me into large-scale."he jokes.But of course large.scale model trains need large spaces to run in•So when he retired,Elwood built a 24-by-48.foot train room that"looks pretty big empty,but filled up really,really fast".His layout(设计)was fashioned after a mining railroad,including a roundhouse.
For model train hobbyists,there are two broad categories:collecting and building.Model railroaders are collectors,of course,often seeking a favorite childhood toy,a scale engine and cars,or parts of a matched set that they're on a hunt to complete.While a few collectors may only display their trains,most model railroaders operate their own railroad kingdoms,some letting their imaginations run wild with fantasy layouts,others recreating railroads they've read about or knew from childhood.These setups often run like the real thing,moving on timetables with scale goods being delivered logically to scale markets.
Model trains come in several sizes or scales,and many collectors start small and work their way up.Keith Lewis,for example,started with a train set his parents gave him one Christmas.He worked with HO scale for a while,but then saw a G•scale set that made him sell all his other trains and start again.Like most hobbyists,Keith won't buy an engine or car if he can't display it as well as run it.
Once you start down this track,it can become a lifelong interest,notes Elwood."You never want to finish,"he says."There's always something you want to do next."
