My wife and I had a good laugh the other day about my uncontrollable interest in Model Railroading...she's very "supportive"......then we wondered if there are any women/female model railroaders out there? Not just the wife or girlfriend helping weather a few cars or paint a building....a full-on "built from the ground-up" female Model Railroader!
I know of one. I wonder if she will respond to your query.

There's a few on the forum here. Also, in the past 6 month there was an article in one of the MR issues (maybe one of the special editions) of a wife and husband team in HOn3(?) and she was a NMRA Master Builder.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Many years ago MR did a layout article on a woman Model Railroader whose husband was not in the hobby. According to the article his only involvement was helping with the wiring.
There was another one covered in a more recent article also.
Enjoy

Hello,
I agree it would be wonderful if the wife or girlfriend would be interessted in the hobby. I have met a few ladies that were into the hobby at train shows, but unfortunately they seem to be quite scarce. On the bright side there is a forum where the person that started it is a lady. Here is the web address, unfortunately in German, and across the "pond" but here it is: http://www.razyboard.com/system/index.php?id=bahnfrau .
I believe that this hobby is great for both genders and the ladies can be a great asset to the hobby.
