>200 years worth of trains from all over the world to draw inspiration from for your MOCs>They're huge ass machines, who doesn't like a hunk of metal on rails?>Trains are the most soulful mode of public transportation out there, easily beating buses (Crowded as shit) and planes (Buses in the air)>Boomers are into it for a sense of nostalgia and a time long lost to downsizing/consolidation, zoomers are into it due to being brainwashed by Thomas & Friends growing upLego specific
>Trains are the OG lego theme, starting a whole decade before Town/Space/Castle>A combination of System and Technic building you really don't see elsewhere, a lot of those high-end Train MOCs have hours of design time put into just getting the gearing for the wheels right>Adding to the above, a highly detailed MOC with lots of SNOT can be interesting. A highly detailed train MOC with lots of SNOT that also features lighting and built in motor power is impressive. >Large train layouts easily get the most attention at any Lego Convention >With lego you're not bottled down to just modeling real trains - you can make up your own or incorporate other themes and make stuff like a Space TrainShort answer: They're just cool man.
