If you want to check out something related, wierd, and interesting check out German radio controlled truck conventions ... lots of people go together and drive their RC stuff in a sensible realistic manner. I find it adorable.

My three year old had an addiction to watching videos of those conventions for about six months.

Please high-five your three year old for me

You mean, something like this?

That sort of thing, but with little trucks, diggers, forklifts, and tractors all by radio control ... I guess I never understood the appeal of train sets whereas driving a little truck around looks like fun

RC aircraft is pretty fun too if you have the space for it. Adding a video system to both RC land and aircraft increases the immersion a lot.

With models, for me it's not about immersion but rather some fascination with having little versions of real things ... I don't know why, and I especially don't understand why making models of anything is 99.9% a men's hobby :-/
