Loathar, I think there is a difference.....I'm guessing here......Most wives want to buy a hubby a train set.....then purchase it after a few opinions are shared.....That was exactly the way I started. Unfortunately (in a way because it's going to cost me) it has grabbed my interest a bit more then I thought it would. I'm sure other times women HAVEN'T gotten this many replies before.......but I'm sure they haven't reposted as many times on a forum as I have with continuous non-stop questions. In this case I'd rather think these guys are not helping "a girl buy a present for a hubby". They are helping "someone" who has just discovered a SINCERE and potentially LIFELONG interest in the hobby. Gosh, I just wrote an email last night to see if my boyfriend and I can join the Reading Company Historical Society under a "family" rate. AND that would not be for ME or HIM. That would be our contribution to RHS in order to help preserve this piece of American History. I really do hope that all these gentlemen on this forum haven't been helping me just because I'm a girl....I hope it's been because they want to share the passion they have for this incredible hobby and the significant place the railroad has in American history. I'm not trying to be rude either but I owe it to these guys to defend them a bit because they were the ones to open my eyes to how fascinating this subject is. It wasn't my father who worked for the reading lines. It wasn't my trips to Road Side America and seeing the huge layout that's been there forever. It wasn't even riding on the train......it was these gentlemen sending me links to read up on what the railroad was really about and how intricate it really was...I owe these guys on this forum for having inspired this interest. And I thank you all. Tess BTW, I am still waiting for a woman to post here.........i'm sure others like me are out there. :-)
