Model railroading itself is more than just putting a train on the track and running it.
Its also the models themselves. They can be kits you have to put together. It can also be tools. Weathering pigment sets. Passenger or crew figures. Decals. Clear coats. Lead weights. Paints of varying brands.
You get the idea.
Ironically enough some of these items are no longer in the collection. The boxcar in the first photo and the engine in the last photo have long been sold.
