What dont you like about this hobby

[nachoman]

What is interesting about this hobby is that it has no fantasy modelers, except those interested in Thomas The Train Engine, perhaps.

there are a few great model railroads that border on character - with over-exaggerated features. Gorre & Daphetid, Franklin % South manchester. I am not talking just physical features, but cultural features as well. That is about as close to "fantasy" as i have seen (well, with the exception of tyco's turbo train and the Stiesel ). But, this is exactly what I am talking about. If someone could effectively incorporate a fantasy element to their layout - I would be extremely interested. Even though the theme may not be my cup of tea, the alternative approach would be quite refreshing.
