One of the advantages of running a "carpet central" is that there's no place to go if the train leaves the layout - it's already there
However, I still have to GET the trains down there, which is just as dicey if not more so. I've adopted a "Hand Under The Engine" approach for all of my transfers, but even this isn't fool proof. I suspect at some point I will drop one while stooping to put it on the layout... and I will be gutted. The bigger danger for me is kicking one...
