Years ago I came across a train simulator program called Trainz and the program allowed you to build a virtual world. You could design and build the ultimate layout without any of the real world restrictions such as size or money. It's very easy to use and in no time I had recreated some of my favorite locations as well as my own fictional layouts. I used the program for years while I was on a break from real model railroading and it got me thinking about how much easier the program was than real model railroading. Like I mentioned already the sky is the limit with the program while real model railroading is greatly affected by your financial situation as well as your available space and of course your time.
So is it really considered model railroading when it's created and contained on a computer or is it only real model railroading when it's a physical recreation in your home with models your build, track you lay, trains you run etc?
