Is a wife a hindrance to model railroaders?

<p>I think it can go both ways...but it can mirror the relationship in general. When my 1st wife and I were married, the trains got plenty of attention from both of us. As that relationship soured over the next 20 years, the trains started becoming a point of contention (like everything else I said, did or thought). </p><p>Fast forward several years, my current (and final) wife (whom I should have married 28 years ago) thinks what I do in the hobby is great! She does not participate in the modeling (even though I have tried) but is a great help at shows and at club functions. She posesses a full appreciation for what I call the "artistry of the hobby", and I am trying to make a railfan out of her (slowly). She's very supportive and I am greatful for it. But then again, she's that way with just about everything I do. From home improvement projects, to fixing the cars, to trying to play guitar (with 10 thumbs),to handling my kids, to cutting the grass, she's always there to lend a hand or support. Thats just the way the relationship is.<span class="smiley">[:I]</span></p><p>Funny thing, about the only thing the ex and the wife both agreed on, they would rather me play with my trains than spend my money at the bar!</p>
