I get mostly trainnuts on layout tours.  They say things like:
How did you make those rocks?
Who makes this car/building/loco?
Really!! Those are Bachmann locos, they run so smooth.
How long did those trees take to make?
Do you mind if I take photos?
Where is the best place to eat around here?
If HO ran this well years ago, I wouldn’t be in O scale
When you finish the layout if you’re looking for stuff to do, there’s always maintenance.
Where do you find the time?/Do you ever sleep?
Don’t worry he’s a good modeler, he can fix it…..

In my life in the pro audio service world, we call those goofy customer stories, it is fun to hear them in a different industry.

 

Unfortunately I am the kind of guy who walks into Radio Shack and asks for "16 ohm speaker cables" to see if they get that it is a joke.  So if I visit your train set room, I might ask:

Is that what they call narrow gauge?  I mean it is only about an inch.

Pardon me boys, is that the Chatanooga choo-choo?

 

OK, I'll stop.
