We have a great train layout in our third bedroom which is sizeable.but. we now sleep separately due to my buzz saw snoring.....so DH occupies bedr#2 which is also a good size but less wriggle room due to shape. I now want to dismantle the train layout, move into lesser room and reclaim my big king sized #2 bedroom. Needless to say we've just had minor altercation at10.40 and I feel more is to come should I dare mention it again! We started the layout partly for us and partly to be a hobby for GKx3 but as we've not seen or spoken for 5 years now the sparkle went off it virtually as soon as we started it, we got carried away and enthused with the process of scenery building and spending £hundreds on stock/engines ,and for me now it's a horribly sad reminder of what I've lost and I can't be bothered even going in the room. DH has a few times he 'runs' engines round it but honestly it's not been touched since before lockdown. I feel I want it completely out and away but that's ot going to happen, any ideas GNers as to a compromise to suit both our mindsets? Sorry to bore you with maybe too much detail.

House and home
After I left home I returned the following weekend to visit my parents. My bedroom had been cleared out and my dad’s model railway installed in there. That was me telt! 
Do you belong to a local model railway society, Gabrielle or is there one around? Offering it to them might be a way forward. You could quietly enquire with them if they’d want it and then present your Dh with the news that you’ve found a home for it and it would bring more pleasure to,people than it’s bringing to you.
can it go in a garage or shed or similar I must admit I love trains but maybe not as much as sleep
