I dont, but I could see the draw to train fans. Its not exactly easy to buy your own locomotive, so one of these sims (plus a uber realistic controller) would most likely be as close as running a locomotive as you can get.

I used to play them for the economics in the game, but I play X3 so there's really no interest in them for me anymore as the economy in this game is much better.

Train sims are cheaper and take less room than a toy train. I don't see much appeal in them, but I've know people who've spent $10Ks on them and have turned their whole basement into a train set.

My late Uncle collected trains. I don't have any pictures of them.
