If you are still with your girl friend when you pass she will just have fun busting your trains up if she hates them the way you sayGrumpy

What happens to your model railroad when you die?
Posted by Bruce LA on Thursday, July 4, 2013 2:07 PM

Since I'm feeling less invincible since I retired, I've been updating my will and realized that I have a fair amount of money tied up in locomotives and rolling stock. I initially wanted to have a viking funeral where my body and train collection were put in a sail boat and set on fire as it sailed out to sea, but the Coast Guard said no.

My girlfriend hates this hobby so I don't want my collection to be thrown in the dumpster along with everything else that can't be sold. I don't belong to any clubs to leave it to and I don't have any friends that are in the hobby. 

Any thoughts?
