If you are a member of a club that has a layout do you have a home layout too?

Yes.
Yes. And I pretty much stopped doing any work on it once I joined the club!
Yes.
I joined a 2 rail club last year and have only one 2 rail thing to run on it (for now) so yes I have a very small small switch layout at home in Manhattan, NYC.
Yes a small one 32"X60"!!
Yes I do, but I don't get to the club as much as I like. My basement is a much shorter trip then Patterson, NJ.
Sometimes people belong to clubs to support the good works others do and maybe help out when needed from time to time.
It's cool to be part of something bigger then ourselves. 
Two failed attempts at a home layout. Designing a third. Basically I need something usable to test locomotives, practice scenery skills, and photograph equipment.

Yes
Yep.
I like running in my basement anytime I want (mostly alone now that the kids are grown up), but I also enjoy the modular club for the commaradarie and friendships, seeing other people's trains and not having to own them all, hopefully sparking interest in toy trains in the minds of kids of all ages, or just putting a smile on a face.
Nah, I gave up clubs once I had my own layout. Though I must say, they were a lot of fun and a good learning experience. I owe a lot of what I know about many aspects of the hobby, to my time spent in clubs.
I did recently rejoin them temporarily when they needed to move from their home of 30 years.
I took these two the last day of operations in the old space.
The layout was cut into pieces so they could fit through the door.
These next two were taken the new space.
Trains were running within six weeks of the move.

Yes.
No "club" anymore, but yes, we have a home layout.
I have a home layout but no club. 
Yes,
But I've spent more time and effort building the club layout. My home layout has been taking back seat.
Wiring in progress, but not still not running yet.
I am a member of a modular group and we all have home layouts. We try to get together to help each other. Are Big once a year show is coming and we all have fun, witch is what it's all about. See you ar Ag Hall
Yes, I have a home layout not used much any more. About 99.9% of running trains is done at the club BDSME Bethlehem Pa one more open house in Febuary see post in announcements.

I think Elliot's home layout is bigger than some club layouts.
