Avoiding my wife's complaints

[davidpen]

View attachment 60982I have been model railroading since the mid-50s but almost never had a fully working layout. Something always gets in the way. As I am now retired and building a railroad "properly" my wife demanded(!!) that I have some people

To stop the trouble, I not only have people but I also have cows!

And they look like very happy cows

I thought wife avoidance was the purpose of railroading....

I wonder how many couples actually work on their model railroad together?

Do you know what breed the cows are?

Holstein, a type of dairy cow.

Start the count at 1. My wife enjoys building structures and dictating the type of scenery that goes on the layout (she is a special fan of bridges). I lay track, paint, build rolling stock, and, and, and, and etc. She will occasionally run trains with me.
