do you have a wife who gets her "beauty sleep" with a cucumber mask and hair rollers and who owns a rolling pin? that's part of the Model Train Lifestyle i used to have a big sheet of wood in my bedroom with HO scale stuff on it because i was a spoiled only child, i think i enjoyed constructing the buildings more than the actual trains though, like the little faller fairground attractions with motors inside. i even had a tax office that was on fire, with flickering lights and a small bath of oil fed by an electrified wire that would produce smoke

Rutibex posted:my grandfather build and played with a large elaborate model train set. it was in a private room in the basement and when he died we found his stash of whiskey bottles. he mostly used the train set as an excuse to avoid grandma and drink whiskey alone in his room did he mutter "choo choo bitch" to himself as he drank whiskey

i was never a train guy who was into switches and stuff. i didnt care about the actual rails except insofar as they are what lets the train go choo choo through a tunnel. i liked crashing my high speed expensive TGV into a playmobil figurine tied to the rails and id laugh like a deranged gremlin

my model train set was also just extremely ghetto and i hung a not-to-scale B52 bomber by revell over my quaint german town, which also had one of those elephant robots from star wars walking around the streets

Captain Rufus posted:I'd only make trains if I could have my sweet Transformers set again. That thing owned. this reminds me of a cool train i had: it had a normal looking track but it was magnetized, so you could make it go on a ramp up against the wall, make it do a half circle and back down again. it was a model train that could go vertical
