Yes, I model a "foreign" RR, the German Reichsbahn in the mid-1930s. Great steam engines with "Wagner" smoke deflectors, black locos with red running gear, lots of quite interesting passenger coaches, and very interesting (and different) freight cars. Lots of quality stuff available from Roco, Trix, Fleischmann, Piko, Liliput, etc. Operation includes a fair amount of passenger traffic. Of course, even the Reichsbahn had a diversity of "regional" and distinctive locos (Prussian, Bavarian, Saxon, etc.) So my Bavarian trains come in from the south and the Prussian & Saxon trains from the north. Trackwork is Peco & signals are Veissmann. Only "reservation" is that we who model the Reichsbahn need to keep the livery pre-1940 to avoid the Nazi stuff. Even though the stuff is available, I personally do not own and would not run Reichsbahn trains with the swastika for the same reason that US prototype modelers would not have a 1940s train station in the South with "colored" and "white" waiting rooms. So, expand your horizons - it's a big and interesting world-wide hobby.
