This was our first year with an artificial tree. After taking it down earlier today, my wife suggested we store it under the train board. I told her that I had often heard about trains under a tree, but this was the first time I'd heard about a tree under a train. She rolled her eyes.

That's funny.

Be careful Jim that's how it starts. Tree under layout, then they want the decorations stored there. Then summer clothes, etc. etc. Dave
On the other hand, it makes the train layout very useful, and a good reason to expand it for additional storage space (for her).
TRAIN IRONY is that joke a wife never understands.
You took down your tree already!? 😮
I like it
I let my wife store the Christmas tree and all that goes with it under my layout. I have stored the tree for 15 years. BUT then it was her idea that I build my train building and she OK'd the cost.
P.S. the Christmas tree is under the grain elevator.
Amusing! :-) It is said that the perception of irony is a reliable test of one's intelligence.
Intreeging story!
That was a good one, loved it.

I have a bunch of empty bins under there so she doesn’t get any ideas
I have bins under there, but they're not empty! 
Love it!!!
Train Irony.... isn't that double irony? Or with standard O-gauge, maybe triple?
