They say relationships are built on honestly, but somethings are better kept a secret. Everyone has baggage they keep hidden anytime they start a new relationship, and for one man that meant not telling his girlfriend about his model train hobby. The man recently broke a record for the largest model train set, keeping it a secret from his girlfriend while he was building it.
Simon George recently broke the record for building the world’s largest model train set, but the even more impressive feat was how he kept the hobby a secret from his girlfriend. George claimed to have rented out space to collect wine, but was really using it to build his train set. “It sounded sexier than saying I was building a model railway, which usually sends women running,” said George.
Eventually, his girlfriend caught on, but luckily it wasn’t a deal breaker. As for the record breaking train, George spent eight years building the 200-foot model, according to Fox News. Hopefully if they break up in the future, his girlfriend lets him keep the train set.
