when ... your monthly expenditure on trains rivals the amount of your monthly mortgage payment ...
OR
you find a few pieces of rolling stock in the refrigerator.

You have too many trains when spouses like Mrs Red Jimmy catch you at 3am unloading trains you bought at York. And she's holding a frying pan for some reason.....lol
Naw...

So… What’s so bad about storing rolling stock between the gallon of milk and the tub of cottage cheese (not withstanding the effect of temperature on the lubricant? Nothing to speak of. The real problem is why you have a tub of cottage cheese. Alfred

I just have to look at my purchase over last 2 years in standard gauge alone
I started collecting standard gauge about a year & a half ago. I have a slight problem, When I collect something I go overboard. I have the equivalent of 14 sets, some MTH remake, Some Lionel remake or mixture of the same and some actual original. Then my two orange passenger sets, both set cars are repaint and wrong engine ( not ready to spend the money someone wants for a Lionel orange #9, so if you want to count these, one ha a 400E the other has a 392E both with whistle tenders ( correct tenders ) this would make 14 sets.

The boss has spoken, LOL.
This is what I had
Don't do anymore shelves in front of the window, that's enough, I replied never enough LOL ( after I did this one. )
I do need to swap them around as the green engine is tight on that shelf with the curtain rod.

I haven't responded to this thread until now because, quite frankly, I am confused by the prompt.
What does "too many trains" actually mean?

I don't have shelves, does that mean I don't have enough trains?

The two main white shelves in front of the windows are 15 1/4" spacing from each other.

rtraincollector, this means that you'll have to double-track the existing shelves.

He told me that he had a plan. He started buying beer in sixteen ounce cans. He drank two a day so his wife was happy and he felt a little better. He then discovered that Fosters came in twenty-four ounce cans so he had two of them each day.
A few weeks later he told me that he started buying beer in quart bottles. He drank two quart bottles each evening. It was a win win. He was happy drinking a half gallon of beer and his wife was happy since he only drank two bottles. It lead to domestic bliss in their house.
I love stories with happy endings.
