Great topic, maybe something we should do annually in November.
I'd like to thank all those who've helped with the "how to" advice and answering my "what am I doing wrong" questions. I marvel every week at the broad and deep knowledge of carpentry, electrical, electronics, and artistic skills among the members here. So many have helped me I can't name them all but it's appreciated most sincerely!
Also, thanks to those of you who take the time to take and post photos of your great and even not-so-great layouts and collections. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the photos provide inspiration for current and future hobbyists!
