My father in law has a separate building behind his home with a massive train room. I am sure some of the people posting probably know him. He used to own a hobby shop on florida Blvd.

I really like that small one. You could build a lot of different sets up in the same space. In the end its all about quality and scale. As long as everything is close to scale in the set up it should be just as fun.

Had a friend that worked at a communications store who’s boss also had a train hobby shop. He’d get calls now and then. One day someone called in and asked about the health issues that might be caused by being shocked by the train controller. He asked for more details and boy did he get em. Dude hooked his dick base and dick head up and rode the lightning. For several days afterward he’d randomly get a boner and blow a load. He decided he’d call the train shop and ask what they thought. He told him to see a dr and that’s when the guy said he was 14 and embarrassed to tell his parents. I wonder about that kid sometimes. He’s probably full incel now.

There needs to be a site like OnlyFans for this.. OnlyTrains. And people can pay to watch people run their train sets.

I want to get into it but haven’t found the time just yet. And I’m embarrassingly obsessive, so I’m worried about the day my son shows the slightest interest.

He’s under the age of two. I spend countless hours playing with him. I haven’t introduced trains into the mix at the current time.



I already have planned out which O scale buildings I want and which Dept 56 buildings are about the right scale to toss in and am cross referencing scales with farm equipment/tractors and probably starting the die-cast tractor phase this Christmas to dip his toes into the water.



…but for him, not for me. I would spend too much time looking at it if it were for me.




ETA- but I am a terrible father for several other reasons than not spending time with the kids.
