Good topic...I had actually started a long running "retirement" topic years ago on this very subject. I think at least one of your responders posted on my topic too, Mark Boyce.
I think I've been saying "I am 3 years from retirement" for the last 5 years now, but now I think it is accurate. I am probably in the minority here, I am trying to hold off building a layout in the hopes that we will move further upstate in New York to save on the high property taxes we currently pay in the Hudson Valley. We are not warm weather folks, before anyone asks about moving south.
I have plywood and some prewar T-Rail track and O-27 track that I have been slowly stockpiling.
Good luck on your project.

Come join us in Central PA, no state or local tax on retirement lots of railroading and only about one hour from East Broad Top. I will even help you build that layout.
That being said I am working on my dream layout not to big about 800 sq ft give or take little. I can retire now but having much fun still working besides have to pay for all the layout stuff I want. Millhouse 36 TT, Ross Crossovers(Several) lots more Ross Turnouts. Beside I work from home 4 out of 5 days a week. It is like practicing for retirement. Now all that being said, once I have trains running the layout is finished everything else is just adding ice cream to the pie, the more the merrier!!!
