Gary, when we moved in, back in 1987, there wasn't a dedicated room, just a fireplace at one end of the basement.  I built the room as a game room ( a term popular here in the Pittsburgh area).  We used to call it a rec room.  Anyway, my three sons used it as their personal "den of inequity" during their formative years.  Then, I turned it into my home office for about twenty years.  When I retired last July, after clearing out the office furniture, I began the transformation to a train room.  It was inevitable.  Something I had envisioned for quite some time.  The wife is happy I am now in the building stage, and out of the "buying" stage.  Well, we'll see what transpires from here.  It's been an arduous journey to say the very least.  I think I may be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.  I only hope it doesn't turn out to be that "white light" you hear about now and then.
