No you're not insane. You just need a hobby...
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
Not only do I have the illness myself, I've passed it on to my children. My 16-year old son came home the other night with a plastic baggy poking out of his coat pocket. In the baggy I could see green plantstuffs. Immediately on the Parent Offensive, I jumped up and yanked it out of his pocket, only to discover that the plastic baggy was filled with bits of evergreen trees from the neighborhood to use as scenery on our layout!
When we go walking, my children (I have 5, ages ranging from 18 to 9) point out various details of the streets, vacant lots, etc., telling me how they would model it on the layout. Right now they are trying to figure out how to make a convincing Southern Magnolia tree.
What a creative and inspiring way to look at the world around us, eh?
Yes it is true, We all have "Railroaditis". It is very common you know.......
The only help that is available is by Dr. Flangeway and Nurse Fishplate, and they only visit on Thursdays when the Local arrives. They are very busy so good luck on getting in to see them.
Most of us just give up and learn to live with it.
We are a strange but great group. Dontcha think ??????????
Johnboy out.........
from Saskatchewan, in the Great White North..
We have met the enemy, and he is us............ (Pogo)

Oh oh. . My wife and I cut two five gallon buckets of low bush blueberry branches a couple of years ago. They work really well. Prototypical trunk thickness and markings.

Blueberry bushes...blueberry bushes...gotta be some of those around here somewhere...
Phil, I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.

They can be hard to spot. Remember, blueberries are red when they're green. :-)
