Whenever you hear the words "model" "train" or "railroad" your ears perk up.

 You can stare at U-Tube for hours, watching trains on other people layouts.

You know you're a model railroader when...
  • You see a set of letters on a car's number plate (MKT, BLI, NYC, etc.) and immediately think of the railroad/model railroad company they represent
  • You have a one-track mind...and it has trains running on it
  • You see a sign that looks like it may be for a hobby shop, and climb several flights of stairs only to find it's a fashon model agency
  • Someone tells you they're looking at tenders for a contract, and you think of fuel & water for steam locos
  • You have your favourite locomotive's whistle/bell/horn as a ringtone on your phone
