Since returning to O gauge model railroading, I have completed two layouts, both subjects of articles in OGR (Run 214, Run 304) and both still operational in my basement. Each layout took me five years to complete. I assembled the tables, made all the scenery, built all the structures. I was still employed when the first one was built and retired during the second. I tend to be very focused on whatever I do. That's why both layouts are finished to the extent that I think there's nothing more that needs to be done on either. The trouble is that I now have no layout construction on which to focus. I do go downstairs to look at the layouts every day and run trains a few times a week - much more often than when I was building the layouts.
