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'.
Go take a flying lesson. Tell the CFI you want to "steer" the plane.
