How many layouts have you built and what did you learn from them?

I have actually lost count.... <br /> <br />Let me explain. My first layout was a Garden Railway using LGB (never really worked outside without a lot of work, so I scrapped the idea.) My next real layout was an HO layout that was sizable... <br /> <br />That HO was many layouts. It started as a sheet of plywood... then the jig saw came out one night, more lumber appeared, and it grew. It had a leg grow from the side.... then the sawsall came out, more lumber again (we think this came one night by carrier pidgeons.) It suddenly had a dog leg down one wall, but some areas could no longer be accessed... the chain saw came out, and lumber disappeared! (still trying to find it.) Smaller additions and subtractions continued for a couple of years... then it all vanished and became a spare bedroom!!!!! <br /> <br />So, on to N scale (space considerations,) well, same story at least three major layout changes, and now a modular "U" 12.5' x 16.5' is the end result (back in the original room.) <br /> <br />With that, you tell me, is that three? Many of the "renovations" were very extensive, and some were complete overhauls... I count that as at least 6 layouts... and still trying to make it "perfect!"
