My dad used me as an excuse to rebuild the unfinished basement and build out the Lionel train set he’d always wanted.
Shortly thereafter he decided he could no longer tolerate his wife and moved in with his mistress full time. He built out a room just for me, but I knew Mom would off herself if I abandoned her. Plus I was smoking by then and Dad hit me whenever I smelled like smoke.
It was a nice train table until a pipe burst and flooded the basement. Don’t buy particle board furniture. It becomes pulp as soon as it gets slightly damp .
I’m a little bit older than this. My jam was those wooden trains with the magnets that connected the cars.
I guess it would seem weird in an adults house so i won’t buy any.
Relevant XKCD:
Brios? Those were great!
As someone with 2 kids, they still are!
It’s a train set. That is the most adult thing possible, go be the train nerd you always wanted to be!

You be you. If it makes you happy and doesn’t hurt anyone, who cares what you do?
I must be from some golden age where both were common at the same time
