Many years ago I made the comment to my wife’s aunt who was full of wisdom and a great career mentor for me about waiting for retirement to build a layout. Her comment was “don’t wait for a retirement you may not get”! Well, at 61 I’ve seen plenty of my friends and colleagues depart this world and I’m glad I followed her advice. I can retire at the end of this year and spend more time on completing my current layout which is probably half way to the ‘never quite complete state’ we all know about. Most of the bull work is behind me now and I’m glad of that. If we decide to downsize in the future, I’ll probably sell off a lot of my stuff and build a dealer display layout in the 8x8 size category. By the way, when people ask where do you find the time, I tell them “I built this while most people were watching TV”. Just like the sign said!
