@ajzend posted: Many years ago I thought that many train people were mama's boys. There seemed to be a certain lack of machismo amongst them. Now, I'm not trying to be judgemental about this; it's just a personal observation. Am I a mama's boy? I don't thing so, but I can't speak for other people's opinion of me.We're not exactly the hunting/fishing crowd (probably especially not the hunting types). However, with that said I think most train people are fun and good people. I think that we tend to be a bit more intellectual and educated. If in the event of an EMP attack the others will still be able to eat. We'll sit around lamenting that we ever switched to command control as we starve to death.

I have exactly one "train buddy" ... he's literally half my age.
My Labrador Retriever "Annie" and I were shooting ducks on a snowy January afternoon at a woods swamp not far from my house. Along the road, I noticed Atlas O coal hoppers on the seat of another hunter's truck. I caught him at the end of the day. Turned out he had picked them up earlier at the little train store, and he's an avid train guy with his young family.
You never know ... we genetically-wired train people ... are of all walks of life.
Luckily for us, both of our wives don't mind cooking the critters that we bring home. And, also, don't mind the train stuff ... they both just smile and roll their eyes when they see us doing the trains. lol
Happy railroading.
