In all honesty, the only Con I can think of is biting off more than you can chew. Alot of people (myself included) get burned out on the hobby early on because there's just SO MUCH stuff you can do with a layout, operation, etc. that alot of people get overwhelmed because they want to do too much too soon. I'm coming back to the hobby after about ten years, and I keep telling myself to work on one thing at a time and not get too ahead of myself. When I was a teenager (ten years ago) I had plenty of space, but lacked money and experience. I bit off WAY more than I could chew, and in my haste to get things done, wound up very unhappy with the way things were turning out. It's a long lasting hobby (one of the Pros) so take your time and enjoy it. Just because you're a year into it and it doesn't look like it's straight out of the pages of MRR doesn't mean you're not making progress. Take your time, and do things in phases so as not to get overwhelmed by the big picture and burn out on the hobby.
