My boyfriend's ex hated his hobby also. I guess it's because there are people who can't stand to be the center of the universe. I hope you find someone who shares your interests in this hobby.

This is a little off topic, but it does concern women and railroading. For a very inspirational and true story, see

http://www.millermicro.com/poems.html
then click on "The Ballad of Kate Shelley, by MacKinlay Kantor"

Follow some of the links at the end which explain the circumstances. Some accounts have Kate at 17, some at 15; whatever, she was truly a heroine.
