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

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 :-/

You mean, something like this?

Autobahn police simulator does sound like fun actually.

It is, but probably not in the way you think. Because this game is unbelievably trashy and cringe. If you like that, you'll have fun!
