Gentlemen,
You know you are a train nut when you lived close to the Railroad tracks as a kid, then your parents move to a new neighborhood, and you can not sleep at night, cause there is no train noise in the bed room.
It really happen to me.

When you tell your three year old that you get him a toy if he poos in the potty and he tells you he wants a Hudson. I will gladly spend a grand to stop changing poo diapers . . . .

And put a little oil in the gas tank so it smokes like one too.

When you call your daughter's school to tell them your running late:

Chasing a pair of Newly rebuilt CSX GP30s.
Involved in the Stout auction.
Because you want to watch the end of a train movie or train related topic you found on You Tube.

You pay more attention to railroad equipment in the background of a movie than the plot. Or the fore ground for that matter.
Noooo... turn the tv channel back to the commercial, I saw a train.
Your choice in music tends to have a click clack rhythm more than not.
Your electric bill drops in half between layouts.
Your garden is lichen and other ground cover varieties.
You curse a little, cause you think you might get a glimpse at rare Hells Gate design prototype
40 years ago you didn't let most of your friends know when you pulled the trains out, because they might break something 
..that would tick Gramps off....and that's your job.
Now, you shamelessly pander to kids with your toys, and look forward watching for any shenanigans happen live, the damage be d****
And then to top it, you say its just so your hobby might stay alive!
But, maybe its so you're stayin alive, hopefully forever, as a small part of a good thing 
....hey that's nuts, and sane! Or at least kinda normal
(N U T S ! Cur rah hee! Hi Gramps
)
Your wife throws your dinner away, because you told her that you had one more post to read on the forum. This, after her third warning. 
When you wade out to the mailbox in waist deep snow, at -25 windchill, during a blizzard, because tracking number says your train from evil-bay is due to arrive!! Finally get back to the house and wife says " wheres the rest of the mail"??
When you pay $3400 for an empty Lionel Blue Comet set box? It was not me!

- You deeply resent kids for having grown up on "Thomas the Tank Engine" when you had nothing like that as a kid
You buy a new train car, rushing home to put this new beauty on the layout only to find, to your surprise that you already own one.
You know you're a train nut when you got a camper that looks like this with plates that read 2 CBOOS and your truck plates read 1 ENGN.

Not me, but a pal of mine told me this today:
You know you're a train nut when your wife comes into the layout room with something daring on and says she's frisky...
...and you tell her you'll be there as soon as you get whatever layout project you have working on at the moment.
THAT AIN'T ME, folks, I told him he was out of his mind. I would say if my wife did that, I'd drop whatever I was doing and think, "Model train layout? WHAT layout?" as that actually indeed happen not too long ago...
I love trains, but I'm not stupid!
You know you're a train nut when you ask the railroad company if you can buy some scrap rail track and ties because you're wanting to put in a new sidewalk and you want the correct measurements between rails and ties so it's prototypical and you plan to put down gravel with stonedust and tamp it down for your sidewalk instead of concrete. Yes I thought about it but with 2 bad knees and recovering from major rotator cuff surgery I'll never be able to do it now. **** this getting old crap! Sucks!

Plate on a car being towed behind a motorhome read: ME PUSH
My VW camper was the BAR FEDR (Bear feeder). I had to let it & the metal go before the restoration & War Bonnet paint job. But with a front mounted spare tire I figured I could fiberglass an Alco car-body looking steamlined tire cover too.

Not just a rock garden, that would make a great flower garden boader too
When you make this website your home page, and you check this site before your email.
Just had another experience of Train Nut happen to me!
I am an accountant and was typing up the word "transfer", but considering I am about to start my new layout, my fingers actually typed out "trainsfer". I had to shake my head and laugh. Ive got the train fever!!!
When people mention "50 Shades of Gray" and you think of coal smoke....

Seems pretty normal to me....
When you walk around the house looking for ways to expand the train room.........
When you look at threads like these as a source of inspiration, you're definitely a train nut.
Your #1 Christmas request is for a bag of Coal
When you look at the weather on a day like this ....... and head to the club anyway...... off I go. It will hold off...... I think
When weather factors into your weekend only like this:
- Sunshine and good weather? Grab the cameras, we're going train chasing!
- Rain and bad weather? Fire up the layout, we're running trains in the basement!
When you see an address with the numbers 2341......and all you can think of is a PostWar Jersey Central FM.......

You don't have fame envy.
You have name envy.
and resent them for fouling your searches.

You do, however, seriously envy anyone with a well-known steam locomotive number in their address. For example, you'd love to live at 4449 Main street, even if there's a crack house there.
...when you have a framed 5 X 7 of Mike Reagan on your dresser.
When your on this forum posting MESSAGES ALL THE TIME…!!!!
