I know that these questions have been asked before it's just that the number of topics to search are just to many, so I would like to know a little about your layout....
The first question is what scale do you model, and how big of a room is your layout in? How long have you been working on your layout? How much of your layout is compleate? How often do you work on your layout?


HO.
16x7.75 feet.
About eight months.
Maybe 5-10%.
A couple hours a week.

I model HO (the best in my opinion!). It's set up in a spare bedroom in the house and the room is 12X12 in size. It's not as spacious as I'd like but it will have to do for now. I don't know if layouts are ever really completed; there's always some extra detailing you may want to add or structures you'd consider building to occupy a spot on the layout that suddenly seems barren. I tend to work on my layout on weekends when I have more free time--and it's a long way from resembling 'complete.' Tracks are in place, as is a bridge. Next round? Trying my hand at scenery.
