Phantom layouts
Railways are for people. When first evolved, trains carried people, later called passengers, long before freight.
The AMRM has detailed some wonderful layouts, all without a single passenger or labourer in sight.
A recent example is the very fine layout ‘Tarlee’ in the April 2023 issue. This model isand makes excellent reading, but there is not a single person in sight. I call these ‘phantom’ models.
