It had to do with _entitlement_... easily convince your wife that you
need to purchase a train set ;-)

I suspect he may not have had a train set as a kid....
Probably not. As a kid, my bedroom was a finished attic. Under one
eave was an 8' x 8' built-in "table" for a train layout, arranged high
enough that I could scoot under, emerge in the middle.
Of course it was "O" gauge Lionel. "HO" was just coming into vogue,
but was horribly expensive... too much for me.
For my boys I built a roll-out that would fit under their beds.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
