Not very likely. (For the reason, check my signature.)
2. Until you look for a place that has the same item for 1 1/2% cheaper.
Remember when you got the same item for about 10% of the present MSRP.
3. Refused to pay $5.47 for that overpriced kit.
Before the price went up to $54.70 and the item went on eternal backorder.
4. You realize that you have 10+ unfinished building projects
And about 1000 unSTARTED projects.
5. Finally, you realize that you are 4+ years into building your layout.
And aren't even decently started
Watch for the great Golden Spike ceremony - in 2037, if I last that long.

Hmm, this is the only kind of hat I own, or wear...I have about 6 of them so I always have a clean one handy.
I also have a wooden train whistle...BUT I don't take it with me like my hats.

1. The owner at your LHS sends you Christmas and Birthday cards.
2. All the medical staff at the local Emergency know your name without looking at the chart.

1-Till you decide to make horn hooks on your layout extinct.
2-Till you learn a 40' wood side ice refrigerated car doesn't belong behind an AC 4400.
You've spent 45 minutes on your hands and knees looking for that Kadee knuckle spring on the thick pile carpet, even though you've got a whole container of extra springs.
You won't let anyone see your layout in operation, because you just know that you will break your 127-days-without-a-derailment streak if someone else is watching.
You wear your blue and white striped engineer's cap, even if no one else is there. Or maybe it's only when no one else is there.
You just can't understand why K-mart doesn't have turf and flocking next to the hair spray.
You're laughing all the way through this thread.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

1.) Half of that brand-new bottle of decal solution ends up spilled on the workbench because you tried to reach over it for the decals.
2.) The tip of your thumb becomes part of that gondola load you just made.
3.) You forgot to scuff the surface of that metal vehicle and the new paint puddled.
4.) Superglue seemed like a great idea until you decided to repaint that hardware store kit.
