The Wife

Well I know there are a lot of people out there asking right now, How do I get my wife to go along with this live steam thing. Simple, make her part of it. My wife at times I think is more into it then me. Right now she has her own engine, I am still making mine. She has been a member at each of the clubs we have belonged to. So if you are just getting into the live steam hobby make sure you are including you wife and kids with you. I suggest that at first you both go visit a club. You will find that at most clubs the other wives will show her what's going on while you are talking guy stuff. There are plenty of things to do besides just running trains. Most clubs people are needed to collect tickets and load trains. On work days at some clubs some of the wives would put together the lunch. These are just a few examples but of course many help with the trains and steam locomotive.
