Maybe future issues of Model Railroader magazine and membership to the NMRA will include a standard prenuptial agreement as part of the price, just for the benefit of new unmarried members.

Nothing like the smell of sawdust in the morning :eek: It isn't much yet. I starting building some support structure as I am doing some design work on the actual track plan. It seems the research and consideration is harder to do than actually building the the benchwork. Here...
