I'll model passenger service where they fit my layout's setting. Right now with my Milwaukee Road branch line they're simply not needed to reinforce the theme.
Operation of passenger trains is what you make it to be. If you're a one-man operation then they are probably rather boring to watch run around and stop occasionally. But at the same time if you're running a one-man layout you need to take a good look at what's really necessary to build and maintain a realistic model railroad. If you're a part of a multi-operator layout with a dispatcher and a long mainline then the operational possibilities of passenger trains are much broader.
