Only when I am moving on/off layout, or when I do something silly like run through an closed (backwards) turnout and dump them on the ground.

Only for derailments or when workin' on the railroad. And placing them on and off the layout or fixing a coupler now and then. Dan
My apologies if this has been around before but I couldn’t find anything in searches.
How on often do you physically pick up your freight and move them? I really try not to, is it just me?
is it when your changing out cars on a interchange yard? Or even a classification yard? Or staging?
i really try not to “handle” my cars except for some under table staging. Mostly I try to “operate“ my trains and to me that means minimal to no touching or moving other than coupling/uncoupling.
Curious, thanks. BTW, Im on a 9x9 dual line around the walls.
