Building a new layout room, and your only concern is--what to keep the elements out.. Maybe a house on top of it......

And the wife can't, for the life of her, figure out why coved corners and 27 electrical outlets are suddenly so important...........[:D]

When you buy a new house and the first thing you do is work out how far away the nearest railfanning spot is!

You go to sleep at night thinking about track layouts !

You spend half the day on the forum here and the other half playing with your choo choos...

I knew I had bad when I was at work standing at the rear rolling door faceing the alley talking to a customer, when I comepletly ignored what he was saying when I say my neighboor drive by with a bunch of foam peices in theback of his truck goign to the dumpster. Yeah, I got the dumpster as soon as my customer left.

you evaluate EVERYTHING for possible use on the layout.

You search prototype photos with a magnifying glass for obscure little details to add to your models.

Your junk box (or, more PC, potentially useful odd parts box) is the size of a steamer trunk - and not big enough.

You know you're a model railroader when...

1) The only time you did anything resembling weeding the garden was when you were looking for model tree material.
2) You lie awake at night thinking... "So much basement... so little time!"
3) You spend $15 and eight hours adding brake details to that shake-the-box freight car kit you got for $4 at the Swap Meet.
4) Friends don't dare mention anything in your presence that is remotely connected to trains.
5) A blond supermodel comes up to you and says "Hey there Big Boy" ... and you immediately think "Wow, a 4-8-8-4? Where!?!"
