The year & a half that I was retired, I built an 18 by 18 ft. layout everyday of the week. It was finished all the way up to the fine stuff. Then I went back to work & added another 18 by 18 ft. Now, all I do is work on it on my 2 days off. Friday & saturday. For about 4 weeks I haven't worked on it at all because I'm doing a lot of repairs on my house. It looks like it will be at least another 2 months before I can start working on the layout again. I still try to make all the local train shows though. The 1's w/in a 100 miles of me. I've been working on train layouts since 1961. This is my 6th large layout. This is the biggest one I've ever put together & expect to finish it in the next 5 years. This is phase 2 of my layout. I still have 3 more add-ons after the 5 year section is completed. NO LAYOUT IS EVER 100% finished. There's always that little tweeking of the scenery, engines, rolling stock & buildings. It's when you make a "job" of the layout that it's never finished. I always take a breather for about 3 months & build something else, like some metal sculptures that make lots of money to spend on the layout.[soapbox]
