Everyone's had some of these - here's some of mine: Placing an above the table switch machine right where another piece of track was going to go (luckily I didn't get to wiring it before I noticed!) Putting a switch with an under-slung machine right against the edge of the board (leaving very little space to wire the machine up!) and, on previous layouts: Not checking that the lightbulb added to illuminate the new plastic signalbox kit wasn't touching the plastic - interesting distortion of the back wall on that 'box after a while! Attempting to use chipboard honeycomb-structure ceiling tiles as modular benchwork (never again, those things managed to be both heavy and flimsy!) On the same layout, trying to place a switch machine directly over a piece of the "honeycomb" - had to cut it out without damaging the track that had already been laid!
