That's easy -- moving the family to Waukesha to work at Kalmbach! Don't get me wrong -- I enjoyed working at MR! Getting to work with Andy Sperandeo, Jim Hediger , David Popp and the rest of the staff -- it was great! <br /> <br />I had just completed benchwork and track on a new room-sized SP&S layout in February 2001 when Andy offered me the job. So I tore it down over a weekend. The following weekend we went to Milwaukee to look for a place to live, and my wife declared there that she just couldn't do live in Wisconsin. After a couple months of feeling sorry for myself, I started another SP&S layout. The following week, Andy calls to offer me the job again, we accepted, and moved to Wisconsin. I started a third SP&S layout in our apartment and had submitted plans for an HO scale switching layout to MR when in April, six months into our residence in the Badger State, it's apparent my wife is bitterly unhappy in Wisconsin, so in May we prepared to move back to Washington in late summer 2002. <br /> <br />Three layouts, two major moves, an unhappy wife -- the hobby got really expensive for a while.
