Being brand new to the hobby, I'm kind of nervous about discussing my new hobby with others.
How does a 56 YO man tell his wife he wants to start playing with toy trains? I was shocked at how receptive she was to the idea, and how encouraging she has been.
Other than that, I've only told one other friend, actually an employee. He already thinks I'm crazy, and has probably announced it over the intercom while I've been in the bathroom.
And, how about these weird things I've been buying at home improvedment stores: a single sheet of foam, 3 2x4 studs, etc. Those checkout clerks ask about weird purchases: "what are you building". "A model railroad track" "Oh". Thankfully, the neighbors haven't seen me taking them out of the truck and putting them in the basement.
