Fascinating subject, especially the live steamers.
"Some of us need to do this." If by that you mean get the trains out of the display case and run 'em I agree with you. If these toys don't live to run, do they really live at all?

Isnt the real question, if we don't run them, do we live at all?

Very philosophical - is a train that does not run really still a train?

No! It is a display item or work of art. Real Trains Are Run. (Gosh, those tinplate trains are sure beautiful)
