Soon after the last time she said that (and while she was "out of town"); I "liberated" 20' of her 25' garage !
i.e. we have a Phila. "row house", with (originally) an included garage on the basement level.
[:D][:D]
Interesting that she (who otherwise "must be obeyed") hasn't complained for about 4 years now !!

The trick of course is to spread it all around the basement so she never sees it all at once. It's also harder for her to notice when something added. Kinda of like what she does with her clothes, shoes, handbags, etc.
Enjoy

I don't now, nor have ever have had a significant other. But if I did, she might say I have too much stuff.

Once I have claimed additional trackage rights in the laundry room, I'll have enough "Yard" for 50 or so cars.

Hmmm... No one uses the spare bedroom, That might take me to Malagash.

I don't understand what that word means!

My wife thinks I do, but of course you never do. There's always that one more locomotive or car or something.

just ask " if they have enough shoes " subject closed .

Fortunatly my girlfriend is as avid a train freak as me. So this comment is highly unlikely to ever be uttered from her mouth.

However, Parents, Friends, people who don't understand model trains, ect. A million times. I have ingnored it of course becasue you can never have to many trains, or to much train layout. Just never eneugh room!

I know what not enough money is or not enough space is. Really what does that mean

[Anonymous]

After 35 years of marrage my wife has come to realize that I suffer from Selective Hearing Inertia Tetany! syndrome which is triggered by certain phrases or words. This syndrome is characterized by irritability followed by intermittent spasms of the extremities until acted upon by an outside force (normally an order form for train stuff). The phrase that triggers this sydrome most often, starts with "You have enough..."

Therefore, the phrase "You have enough train stuff." is never uttered in my presents.

Enough train stuff? One can never have enough train stuff as far as I'm concerned. That's like having enough money.

I don't have a significant other, but my parents (especially mom) constantly say that it's "just a hobby" and that I have invested the same $$$ it takes to pay Harvard.... and to add insult to the damage, they forbid me from spending in the hobby (not even two lousy bucks for a figure!)

WHO CAN EVER HAVE ENOUGH ?????
I want more, more , more. My train stuff
will never be enough. I WANT MORE.
I have this great big house, I want more .

I am blessed with a wife who values hobbies and is supportive of mine. Also, she collects Barbie dolls and often outdoes me in the purchasing area.

Actually it seems like I am approaching the level of 'enough train stuff' on my own terms. In the next while I will probably limit my purchases to building supplies for my redesigned layout. After all, isn't the hobby about making things?

[:(]What do your folks have against your enjoyment of a hobby? One would think that many parents would be pleased to know that their son or daughter was spending time and money on something worthwhile.

They're not against that, it's just that they think that spending $60 on a steam locomotive or $15 in trees is an absolute outrage. [V]
I guess they won't like it when I begin collecting prewar Lionel trains!

[douginut]

NEVER! but, I some times thin out the herd (fleet?).
Then with the money from sales and a few more added to keep them company
trundle on down to The Hobby Stop here in Orem and engege in Capital Improvements to the railroad.
After a herd thinning I actually heard my wife say, "the brass ones got a bunch more than you paid for them, just get those, no more of the plastic ones!" After I was revived I promised to try to do that the next buy. (I prefer PLASTIC, I dont have to hold a pistol to the head of the kid's dog every time one asks to handle the trains).

Yeah, really. Have you thought about an escape route yet, in case Mom goes postal? LOL--just kidding. I'm hoping your folks will come around and see the fun you're having with a worthwhile hobby and simply embrace it. Best of luck!

Locomotives, locomotives, and more locomotives!

The word enough ,not in my vocabulary.Although the wife tends to try and shed light on the meaning for me many times in the past and will probably continue to do so in the future. I have sucessfully dodged the interpatation and forcefully as I am allowed continue to respond with my version ,not enough,and the old stand by ,need more.

[cisco1]

Its gotten to the point that I'm down to a list of specific items to be on the lookout for.
As far as enough is concerned, its like that one line in the song that says" too much is never enough"![swg]

If I get this comment, I ask, "Who bought me my first starter set for our first anniversary
35 years ago?" Go play with your shoes...

I'm very blessed. Louise thinks the railroad is very cool. It helps that I'm modeling the town she grew up in, and that I'm starting to build scenery. The thought that I might actually have gotten close to enough has crossed my mind once or twice, but then somebody brings out something new and better that fits my time period and choice of railroads. I quickly realize that I was mistaken.
Have Fun,

Being in the Northeast, people are virtually scared off by my hobby. At least that's what I've noticed more than anything else. There are those few who do show interest in it.

Enough? All I can think about is the quote from John Paul Jones "I have not yet begun to get enough!"

[mikebonellisr]

I buy the stuff,hide the receipt,then mark $29.95 on the box.Not a bad price for a $400 engine.I also keep buying more because the products keep improving
