That's stupid. You don't have to steer a model railroad.


You've heard of switches, right?

Switches move the train from one track to another.

The track itself "steers" the train.



True but pilots don't "steer" a plane either. They fly them.

From Dictionary.com:

verb (used without object)
4.
to direct the course of a vessel, vehicle, airplane, or the like, by the use of a
rudder or other means.

One could say that a pilot does, in fact, steer his airplane. Trains are not
'steered'.
