| Trains can be set up for any railroad. As the MRICF caters to model railroaders, the trains list is mostly comprised of trains, but other forms of transport such as ships (international or domestic), aircraft, and road transport can also be set as "trains" if required - usually these other forms of transport would be "Auto Trains" (see Auto Trains section below) to facilitate movement outside the boundary of members model railroads, however if a non-railroad vehicle movement system such as a Faller Car System is used on a model railroad then it's vehicles could be set up as non-Auto Trains too if required. To view a list of current trains for the railroad you are logged into, click the Trains link in the Navigation Menu. For full access to this section you need to be logged in. | Trains can be set up for any railroad.
