If Model Railroading sneaks into EVERY conversation you have with not only friends, but also colleagues, you just might be a Model Railroader.
At one time you had more HO scale Locomotives, rolling stock and supplies then your LHS.
If your family asks you what you want to do for your birthday and you reply go to the LHS and do some train watching, you may be a model railroader/railfan...

I can relate to that. Not necessarily Starbucks and McDonalds, but other places also. The wooden coffee stirrers and plastic ketchup cups are useful.
