Not my usual scale but my wife is a huge Disney fan. So I started collecting the villains cars for her.
Something totally different for me

Very nice cars actually, I think I saw that submarine car in another post from before by someone and didn't know what it was from the distance

She has the Mickey 90th anniversary set she puts around the tree. For now this sits on the top shelve in the train room.
She mentioned that but I nixed it until I retire and we have our last home.
She comes down to the train room and looks around. That's about all she wants to be involved in.

I've wondered why this is such a male dominated hobby. Maybe because it's a male dominated vocation?
I've seen wonderful painting (structures and backdrops) and scale modeling done by girls and women. Do none of them like trains?!

My wife enjoys my trains and layout. She didn’t enjoy running a train until I handed her a ProtoThrottle. She will run with me a couple days a week switching the layout. She has no desire though to build and buildings. She feels the scenery element is what makes the railroad and because it is mine, I should do it.

I’m so sorry. I wasn’t referring to your wife specifically but women and the hobby in general.
My post was probably too off topic and I apologize.
