    You are a philosophy graduate. Do you know if anyone has seriously written about the philosophy of modelling (either in general or specifically about railways) ?

      Oh wow, can't believe there was actually a thesis about it! That's quite incredible and definitely warrants a read. I haven't really done a massive amount of digging personally, as I was focused primarily on ethics which doesn't seem as applicable (though some manufacturer's actions of late may prove otherwise). The idea of being a creator of a 'perfect' world is certainly something which would warrant examination as a vent for those with a god complex but who knows.

      A psychiatrist I know said some people build model railways to create something they control in an uncertain world.

       

      It think that might include me :-)
