Short answer... Yes, they would be covered as Contents for the Perils your policy covers. This typically does not cover breakage unless caused by a covered Peril. Dropping an item typically isn’t covered.If you cover your collection under a Personal Articles Floater, which are typically All Risk except for specific exclusions, then you are buying broader coverage, but you may need to provide a value appraisal.

Some even build separate structures for their layouts
I am currently modeling an a 12.5 x 7 foot section of the front living room, sectioned off by a set of discarded GSA office cubicle partiions.
Trying to find a 16x20 shed/garage (either prebuilt, kit or ground up build) to use as a shop/train room for under $10k. If I lived on the east coast or mid west I could easily get a kit for well under my budget but not in California. Oh, and no basements here either.Boat: hole in the water that you try to fill with moneyWhy does a divorce cost so much money? Because it's worth it!
I helped a gentleman that has now passed away build his dream layout. I know he easily spent $20k in our shop, another $5-10K that he already had and was installing this in a 1.5 million dollar house that had one room build specifically for the train, not to mention the approx $20k he paid me over 8 years. It's not hard at all to hit the $100k mark.
