[quote user="jasperofzeal"][quote user="Chuck Geiger"] ... She loves that I have a hobby like this, keeps me out of jail. [/quote]Whenever I see a response like this, it makes me wonder if you had no hobby, would really be out there doing illegal things.  I'm sure you're a decent man and know better, so saying that trains keeps you out of trouble is kind of extreme, at least to me it seems extreme.  I also get a kick of the ones who say that trains keeps them out of bars and from chasing other women.  They're either alcoholic cheaters or not, trains has nothing to do with that.I'm glad that my girlfriend is understanding of my hobbies.  The other night I came home and saw her thumbing through the Walthers sales flyer that comes every month.  I guess she's getting ideas on what I may like [:D].As much as I enjoy being involved with my toys, I realize that there are a lot of things that train can't give me that my girlfriend can (mind out of the gutter).  I may consider myself a "lone wolf" when it comes to trains, but not in matters of the heart.[/quote]Here in this home, I cannot get arrested playing with trains and there is no trouble after sunset. It's a happy home. Downtown things get dangerous after sundown sooo... having a pursuit that keeps one off the street is the best way.In fact, the spouse approved a glass topped corner table for the work bench so I can continue to build stuff for the train layout. With that kind of support, it's kinda hard to find issues.However, I will say that if you have wedding bells calling, you better have the train stuff rolling long before the girlfriend "Future wife" gets into your life. You dont want to be bring in trains AFTER the vows.I told my wife when we were dating that there will be trains in the home. At first it was "Aww how cute" then "Wow.. how MUCH!?" then.. WHAT's ALL THIS?After the smoke cleared the trains were still there but with rules lol.
