[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones Girls don't dig it. Like I don't have hard enough time trying to get a mate, I was born with a passion for trains! [banghead]. You guys with these supportive wives, WHERE DO YOU FIND THEM!!!!! I haven't met a girl in my age bracket that has been impressed with my BLI AC-5! [[/quote] Once you're married wife soon learns that compared to all the other possible hobbies out there model railroading is the one of the easiest to deal with. They tolerate it a whole lot more. Here are some of the reasons. 1: Compared with other hobbies model railroaders are home more often. In fact, it keeps you home so often your wife may encourage you to join a club to get you out of the house once a week. 2: If you have sons the hobby is something that can be done with Dad. 3: The skills learned in model railroading come in handy when fixing things around the house. 4: Comparatively cheaper than golf. A train club membership is cheaper than a country club membership. Plus, there are no greens fees for running a layout for four hours. 5: If you are in HO or N scale it is real easy to sneak new locomotives into the house. 6: After about ten years of marriage your wife doesn't really care that you have a hobby she can't share with you and has no interest in. Truth be told, the time you spend working on a layout gives her valuable time to pursue her own hobbies. She likes model railroading because it gets you out of her hair while, at the same time, she knows where you are and what you're doing.
