QUOTE: Originally posted by dougdagrump Mine is fully aware of my trains and their cost. Most of mine were used, E-Bay, so I don't have quite as much of an investment had they all been new. The ones that were bought new were, as a general rule, drastically reduced sales. [^]

QUOTE: Originally posted by macaste My wife doesn't really know how many trains I have. I keep most of them in a closet or at my mothers. She knows even less about how much I have spent on my trains.She always thought my trains were cheap to purchase(lionel engine less than $100.00 and rolling stock $15.00). She really dosen't know their true cost. She thinks I have about half of what I really have. I have two excel spread sheet with my inventory and total cost. One is accurate and true the other shows roughly half of what I have. I keep the real spread sheet on a old computer. I am the only one who knows the password to this old computer. She is not aware of any new purchases I make because I have them shipped to my mother's house. I have some trains stored at my mom's. It makes it easy when you get something new because all I have to say is it was stored at my mom's. I don't like to do this but I wouldn't be allowed to buy one more piece if she knew. I have 2 credit cards in my name only and she has the same. I buy most of my stuff on these credit cards. I bought most of my collection before I met my wife. Am I alone in this deception? What do your wives or girlfriends think about you buying more trains?

QUOTE: Originally posted by FJ and G If any females between 30 and 50 are reading this post, I'm available to marry. You can buy all the shoes you like if I can by all the trains. I want that put into a contract! On second thought, make that age 18 and up (i'm not fussy if you're not) Also, you gotta like beagles who get into trouble
