Paul Kallus posted:Has anyone ever finished their dream layout before retirement?
I did it both ways. I finished a 12'-by-8' layout ten years before I retired and built a 10'-by-5' layout after I retired. So, the basement now has two functional layouts. Each one took about five years to complete. The newer one was built to be transportable should a house move ever occur. It was a great retirement project. I kept myself occupied by building all the structures and scenery on both railroads.
