I can't recollect ever being truly bored with running trains. Whether related to layout improvements, issues at work, why the Steelers struggle against the NFC South or life in general, I tend to do some of my deepest thinking when running trains.
With regard to having to replace track due to wear; yes. I operate on 0-27 track and have had to replace just about every piece of it at some point in the 24 years since I built the original portion of my layout. I will stress that, as was noted above, the wear has occurred at track joints.
