DPP...otherwise known as domestic planning permission.

For some this can be difficult to obtain, although even when granted can be suddenly withdrawn. Reasons cited for it being withdrawn can be plentiful, but often bewildering to us mere male mortals. Appeals sometimes work...often at a price.

Venus and Mars comes to mind.

The present home for a layout was negotiated by means of the provision and erection of a greenhouse for her allotment, and a large amount of bark chippings for the paths on said allotment, I don't think I will be allowed to get away with it so easily this time round.
The shed at the allotment is in need of repair, and will probably not last this winter, I have visions of my layout shed being halved and used there, I therefore will have to settle for "half" a shed.

Graham, you really have come upon hard N gauge times... I don't know what to say. You should write to Father Xmas requesting a miracle I think!!

What about doing an old school "Fold away" layout where it's designed to fold up against the wall (or lift to the ceiling). That way it can share the sewing room and make it a proper hobby room. That and make lots of noises about spending your "train set" money down the pub and bookies instead

I must admit I thought Veg Plot + Greenhouse + Potting Shed + Sewing Room = Railway Room or Big Shed.

Get a house with a garage, design a layout to fit in it and then you're relatively safe against further moves as long as they have a garage as well.  Beware though, garage sizes do vary...

Two bedrooms you say ?
Not a problem then,
you complement her on finding such an ideal ready made 'out of the box' house in an excellent and convenient location.
You go on to approve her choice of sewing room and remark that
" the light from that west " ( east/north/south) " window will be good for colour matching your threads my dear, "
and offer, for the long winter evenings, to install colourmatch ( aka truelight / northlight) light fittings.
Then gently lead her through to the spare second bedroom and say " dont you think that this will make ever such a good room for our railway my sweet " (sweetheart/beloved/darling/  <- insert epithet or endearement of choice )

This is an exceedingly dire situation! You must put your foot down with a firm hand and insist that the move must satisfy both of you. She I presume wants a happy sober husband.

Bump off Mrs Walters, empty the joint account and spend it on your current layout in the current location. Simples.

That would be the current Ms Walters ?

Larf ! Yep me too.
and I'm still trying to decide if t'other bedroom is truly spare or maybe needed for his alt.abode ?

My trainset is in the "once upon a time exercise room". SWMBO is allergic to exercise, although not averse to buying (subsequently unused) exercise equipment. If new exercise equipment appears I give away the previous as new piece. The current piece occupies about 8 sq.ft leaving about 140 sq.ft for me.

Maybe you can designate the second bedroom for something like this.

The thread so far  ... a recap :

There is only one one Mrs Walters, so she is the first Mr Walters, this is not supposed to infer that there ever will be a second or even third Mrs Walters, ( the present Mrs Walters may read this).

The house on the RADAR is a three bed out of the box type built by David Wilson homes ( other builders are available), I use the term bedrooms loosely, mainly because they are rooms upstairs, two of these rooms are suitable, ( according to the blah) for double bed,  ( we have a king), the other is in my view a large cupboard, the present Mrs Walters ( first) has inplied that it will make a "great" sewing room.
The enclosed garden at the rear is small, if I put my present shed on it, the shed would probably occupy half of it.

There is no garage
There is no conservatory
The understairs cupboard is a loo

All I want to do is build a model railway !
