When to Start Over with your Layout?

Model railroading is different things to different people. My current layout, approaching 2 years of age and 99.9% complete has opened my eyes to different designs. Though I have 2 mainlines, a short line, numerous spurs and a reversing section, I too am limited to what I can do and can run. (My inner shortline is 15" radius). So, this spring the 4x8 is scheduled for demolition and though I dont have a lot of room, I will likely be building a 6x8 in two layers, the bottom for staging and reversing. A view of my current plan is at the site in my signature. I will be posting the tentative plans for the new layout soon. <br /> <br />I intend for my new layout to have minimum 22" radius & #6 turnouts to be able to enjoy my love of large steam and my 4% grade will go to a maximum of 2%. It will also give me more scenery space which I really love doing. <br /> <br />Also, I hope to learn from my past mistakes on track laying and make a much more reliable layout that will really be fun to operate in a more realistic mode.
