Burned out...been there?

johnshorseOGR Forum Member

Have about 20 craftsman kits 50% to & 70% finished. I started a 16 by 8 three rail layout about 60% done.

I have a 12 by 3 On30 layout about 30% done.

I cannot find motivation to work on kits or the layout.

Tired of the mess of the scenery and progress is so slow, on the layouts and kits, that it all seems so overwhelming.

It seems to never "move forward".

I am retired but seem to have little to no time to work on it.

Basement jammed with over 300 pieces of rolling stock and almost 40 engines.

Just burned out...hard to sell anything as market is slow.

Any experience cure for burn out? Just tired of it all.

Seems no way out of the hobby after such a huge investment in time and money.
