My wife has “gently” suggested that I stop buying train stuff. She said some nice men in a white van would be over this evening to take me to a vacation resort.

Seems legit!

Perhaps we could get a bulk booking for all on here that have caught Supers 'might as well' syndrome? Big Grin

Thats a whole Wing in the Rehab Center and..........there is a waiting List.

Yeah but just think of the layout we could build in that wing by combining our collective hoards Big Grin

We'd probably end up in the Guinness Book of World Records lol!!

So OTR, the asylum didn't work out, I see? Big Grin

Also, Nigels, if you saw our layout in the juveniles wing, you'd be thinking twice about your world record attempt. Smile

Or you may end up like this poor soul, who resides in the Hopeless Wing, with his warped Layout Logic. Big Grin

If Super was in the same facility, I would be kicked out for rules violations within a day! Big Grin

But hey, I’d probably have a new Class DE10 and some blue Suha coaches when I left! Angel

If we've never experienced that "gentle talk", it would be because you are either single, have the most incredibly understanding wife(and a keeper), or she too is the second pea in your pod and you're both partners in crime!!
However, there is a simple method that exists that has been a tried and true formula to successfully keep from having to curb your collecting without finding your way towards the "curb"!!
Is called 1 for 1!!
For every dollar that you spend on a train purchase, you must spend the same amount on her! Big Grin

It may strap your wallet, but you'll never be "sat down" again! Wink
