You spend the little time off you do get researching, reading or responding to posts while on rest and relaxation from Iraq instead of calling or e-mailing family or friends. GUILTY HERE[:)]

When buying a new car, you ask the dealer if dynamic brakes are optional on this model, and if you can have a pullcord installed to activate the horn. You express surprise when the horn fails to be multi-tone "But I can't play tunes on this"!

...you paint your rolling stock more often than your house
...you have done more electrical on your layout than your house
...you remodel your layout room before your kitchen

You might be a model railroader if...
...when someone tailgates you on the freeway you say "he's fouling limits he doesn't have authority to occupy."
...you were arrested by railroad police for entering a railraod roundhouse. Fortunately, you are good friends with every Class I President.
...you then exactly recreated that scene on your model railroad.
...Athern has a parking spot reserved for you.
...you get bulk discounts on locomotives--you buy them by the 1:1 boxcar.
...you own half of the railroad structures in your town.
...your wife has spent more time in the clothes shown in Classic Trains: Dream Trains than in modern clothes so your figurines can be as prototypical as possible.
...your benchwork can withstand a 12.0 earthquake.
...you have recreated the famous Milwaukee Road Skytop Observation advertisement, exact down to shoe sizes.
...a 1:87 model of your house is on your layout, next to three 1:87 4-8-8-4's, and with fourteen model streamliners stopped outside. You describe it as your "dare to dream" portion.
...the Union Pacific and London and North Eastern share trackage on your layout.
...you actually understand what it is like to buy four brass locomotives in one hour--and then they show up on your credit card bill.

Hope you had some laughs,
Daniel
