My Wife and my Trains

This is one of those things I love about my wife.
While she has no real interest in my train layout(s) she is supportive of my love for it and she helps me with things regarding the theme of the railroad.

For instance, I was discussing with her how I wanted to add Wisteria (a native tree here in GA) to the layout and how I thought I could model it. She was quick to point out that while my idea for modeling it was good, I had already discussed with her having a corn field in one area of the layout and Wisteria is not in bloom when ears of corn are (around here, Wisteria is early spring, corn early summer).

These are the little things that I don't think of that remind me how fortunate I am and how glad I am to have her to bounce things off. Even when she doesn't know that she helped me.

The solution then came to me.

Since my intent now is to model Wallibus, Tarnable, Fitch and Whosaton individually as modules, I will now do each one as a different time of season as well, more fun and more options!

Now to decide which Fitch is, I think I'll go with late Spring early Summer.
