growing up my layout went from basement to spare bedroom to basement to spare bedroom to my room (i moved into the spare bedroom) back to the basement back to the spare room and once more back to the basement. It was always a 4x8 sheet of plywood, but in it's final trip to the basement I got my dad to build a 4x4 extension to make it an 8x8 "L". When I was getting ready to go to college, my parents asked for the basement back so the trains went in boxes and there they've stayed except for a loop or two at christmas. 7 years later i'm living about 3 hours away in an apartment. I am fortunate to have a good sized apartment, but I am on a temporary work contract so I don't want to lug all my trains down here just to have to pack them all up in a year. When I visit my parents I get very tempted to grab a box of track and bring it back with me, but alas, I have resisted. Of course none of this has stopped me from buying more items for that day when the trains come out of storage 
I expect to hear a lot of "when did you get that one?" from my parents
