Findus - you're a lucky man!

I think I'm pretty lucky too - I have a whole room I can put my layout in .  It looks like a bomb dropped, but as long as the door is shut my wife doesn't care.  I am in the the process of tidying so I can get more done in there.  And that is getting me more than a few Brownie points!

My wife doesn't help with making stuff (yet, anyway) but she has a friend who loves the model train thing but doesn't have her own, so she will happily come over and help me build stuff.

If I tell my wife about my new Western nameplates, she'll say "That's nice".  But I think she likes that I have something to keep me busy and out from under her feet.  When I'm playing trains she gets the remote all to herself!!!
