Well, some of us are not strictly “model railroaders” but “toy train operators.” And of course most of us are somewhere along that spectrum. It’s almost like it’s two different hobbies divided by a common three rail track! As a person on the “toy train operator/collector “ end of that spectrum I don’t mind having fantasy items running on my traditional sized 4x8 layout. I’m sure Lionel’s catalog is trying to serve both modelers and toy operators.
