Longest hiatus from the hobby

[ezdays]

I would say from the time I gave up my trains as a kid until the time I started it as a hobby when I retired, but then as a kid, it wasn't a hobby, just a toy to play with. So that shouldn't count. Then I would say there was a period of about a year and a half when we moved to the house we're in now that I didn't have my layout set up or even things unpacked yet. Too busy doing other stuff, plus my first shoulder surgery shortly after moving here made it difficult to do anything for a good while.
