About a year ago Marie (Wife) and I went to The Great NYS Model Train Fair in Syracuse. That is where she got the addiction, as we were leaving she said to me “We have to do that!” me " Do what?" her “Do an outside train layout”. Believe me I was surprised and excited, she is still excited to go to shows, there is even a glimmer of hope we may go to the one in OH ( North East Large Scale Train Show) . Taking our two grandsons with us too, that will make this one extra special.

Huzzah. Good decision.
What ever you do Mark, don’t lose that woman.
It’s great when you share or are able to support each others hobby.

You are right, I will be keeping her as long as I can. We both have separate hobbies and try to support each other.

Run with it.
It is like having kids…
If you wait until you can afford it you never do it
My “scene of the crime” also involved the wife as instigator. In 2010, while I was long-term stressing over my occupation, Linda handed me a Garden Railways magazine (which she’d somehow heard of and acquired) and told me “You really need to get your mind off work. And I’ll give you the whole back yard.”
The rest is history.

She has had a few…
Actually it’s still history in the making. She got the house and you got the shed!
Wasn’t that a Jerry Reed song?
