The CP Rail M & M Sub. lifts its skirt

The CP Rail Manitoba and Minnesota Subdivision lifts its skirt to show what’s underneath–storage!

A post by Jason Shron of Rapido Trains on some forums last week (“What a wife thinks about our hobby”) got me thinking about the subject of compromise–specifically, how we work with our families to obtain the space we need for our layouts.

You can find my thoughts, and photos–including photos of how my brother-in-law built one of this city’s largest layouts while still allowing the family to use all of the basement–on my blog at http://cprailmmsub.blogspot.com/2010/01/families-and-model-railroading.html

(See photo below for how my brother-in-law’s layout went through his son’s bedroom.)
