you just built a new house that is an exact duplicate of a steam era roundhouse. you have converted your house back to a coal stoker for heat. you have a full size sand house and tower to spread grit on your driveway in the winter. you have a five chime nathan locomotive horn (working on compressed air) in your living room that goes off when the doorbell is pushed. you have mounted a rail undercarriage on your pickup so you can get on the high iron and really chase trains. your commode dumps straight into the basement (no pipes) and comes from pullman-standard. you only have kerosene lights in the house. you still use an ice box and load the ice through a hatch in the roof. your back porch is the rear end of an old heavy weight observation car. when you have to decide between your daughters wedding and a once in a lifetime chance to ride in the cab of a working locomotive, you tell your daughter you will for sure make it to her second wedding. you have a full-sized grade crossing built into your driveway. you have ballast piled in your yard instead of growing grass. you use a switchstand to open your front door. your deodorant smells like burnt diesel and hot lube oil. you use a knuckle coupler to hook up your fishing boat. you know, stuff like that.
