It is more that I chose the home that had a floor plan with basement, that was optimal for the basement being built out as a train room. Moved in 18 years ago and the trains have slowly taken over the house, sort of like a mold that just keeps growing and creeping elsewhere! Now the trains have taken over the basement, one of the bedrooms, and have crept into the formal living room, dining room, and loft at the top of the stairs.
