That is oh-so-true! Trains always make me happy! Lots of trains make me very very happy! A very wise philosopher, that one.
Another poster on MR forums signs, " Model trains. Because it's never too late to have a happy childhood." Who could argue with that!! And yes, that's a pretty nifty graphic and message up top, Bob.
Not only that, Crandell, it's a happy childhood that can be turned on and off at the flick of a switch. Turn it on, and your troubles are far, far away for a short time. The ten-year-old kid that got a train set for Christmas comes right back to the surface. Can't beat that feeling!
My response on my FB page was: Happiness is being on the Train Show committee and the train show is over.
I have had this sign posted on my layout room wall for years: This is a classy place, PLEASE ACT RESPECTABLE! Sort of says it all about my feelings on the Hobby. If it ain't FUN, I'm finished!
I need to get a notice for my door that reads "Nitpickers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."
Just saw this one yesterday ! (paraphrased) : " When you grow old you play with trains. No ! You play with trains so you don't grow old ! "
