I only tend to run routes I've built myself as the built-in routes don't interest me since I'm a UK pre-grouping era enthusiast. Plainly I spend a lot of time is surveyor, but I enjoy running trains on my layouts too. I don't use AI systems or run trains with 'robot' drivers and I always drive my own engines moving between them as needed. Most of my layouts, except for one (about 100 miles of track) are small, - on average only between 10-15 miles in length, - and I make use of portals to represent the rest of the railway. I make use of interactive stations even though the situation with finding period correct passengers is less than ideal. I also use some basic loading and unloading tracks and have no interest in interactive tracks that require schedules or waybills. Shunting (switching for Americans) is also something I enjoy. I run a very simple 'thumbnail' timetable involving regular passenger services with goods trains, local pick up goods trains (with necessary shunting) and parcel trains in between the passenger services.
