The idea of bringing a scene (even if it is bare track on hardwood or carpet) to life and constantly striving to make the scene better... make the locomotives run smoother. The discovery of some unbelievably cool unit that you pretty well can't do without. The feeling of unearthing and making something work again that's spent the best part of half a century in a dusty attic! <- same reason I enjoy restoring and refurbishing antique fans!
That and the CPR GP35 I drove when I was a kid on the engineer's lap down in the Crowsnest Pass...
Awesome stuff.
