Guys, <br />My wife is a history teacher. Once I showed her the history behind the RR's, she started collecting memorabilia and liked the idea. I explained I can teach our sons about carpentry, mechanical and electrical work (good skills to have as a man!). Next, I offered to build a model of the station in her hometown and put it on the layout. She now wants to work on the scenery and help run trains. I took my direction from Dr Bruce Chubb who showed how everybody in the family contributes and benefits and gets to spend time together. It's pretty effective. The flip side of having a constructive way to spend leisure time is also helpful.
