...you tell your kids they are going AWAY to college - you need another train room for that other scale you've always wanted to try
...you install a personal DVD player on your HO layout and call it a drive-in movie theater, then make the whole family watch it (been thinking about doing this one)

I'm sure that my wife would like it if I repainted my car in a Southern Pacific "Black Widow" scheme...

...you drive around the streets of your town where the industrial belt line used to run, pretending you're a way freight.

...your friends deliberately avoid mentioning anything railroad-related because they'll have to listen to you flaming about it for an hour or so.

...your wife gets suspicious and starts checking for Floquil Caboose Red on your collar.

I actually saw a truck painted in C&NW colours a week or so ago - think it was operated by a parcel delivery company but it was definately in C&NW yellow and green! Wonder if the company that ran it realised (probably not!)

*thinks* hmm, that paint scheme might suit my Discovery, yellow bodywork and green roof...?
