Model railways evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting individuals back to simpler times and enabling them to relive cherished memories. 

Moreover, the hobby often becomes a multi-generational tradition, passing on the passion for model railways from parents to children and creating lasting bonds.

. . . .a model railroad provides insight into the engineering mechanisms of trains and the tracks they wheeled on throughout .... history. Any hobbyist can justify having a model railroad as being a fun pastime. But the benefits of owning a model railroad range from being educational to developmental in a variety of real-world skills.

The school benefits from 'hiring' at no cost  a model railway.  It ranges from being educational to developmental in a variety of real-world skills.  They include science, technology, engineering and human resource planning.  Daddy will be pleased!

The train layout shows a large empty space to accommodate a small town to be designed by pupils.  See the early stage video here and the new track layout here.
