From what I've heard it's normal for people to not work on their layout from about April until October. The reason why is because people during the summer want to go on vacations and have all kinds of activites going on, so if you don't feel like working on your layout right now (August) then go do something else for a while. Especially with it being EXTREMELY HOT, our thermometer was registering 116 Degree F about a couple of weeks ago, so with it this hot no body is going to feel like doing anything on their layouts. Wait until it cools off outside and there are no more outside activites to do, then go down to the basement or wherever your layout is and start playing around with it, don't make yourself think you have to get this done or that done, just do whatever you want to at that time. I personally think a good time to start working on the layout is September when the temps. go down to about 80 degree F. Also, if you don't feel like doing Model Railroading at all, then don't force yourself to work on the layout because you'll just be miserable and get to the point where you'll give it up completely, if you're not in the mood for it right now then do something else for a little while. For example, here lately I haven't felt much like working on my board so I've been doing a lot of reading and research on the 1999 Conrail merger and I've been doing a lot of reading in my Model Railroaders and doing lots of planning for the layout.
