I’m going through a somewhat similar situation right now. I just tore down my layout and expanded the benchwork. For months I’ve been getting great deals on accessories and working on handcrafted details whether with paints, styrene, creating structures, etc.. I had a nice track plan...
I put 50% of the grass mat down and then got giddy and made my mainline outer loop of track with a spur and started some wiring.(first mistake) Then I added some accessories that I bought over the last few months but hadn’t opened(was like a kid in a candy shop) that were all boxed up. Now I can’t figure out what kind of track plan I want and what the focus will be or how to achieve it. And I keep second guessing certain things regarding whether or not I want to integrate them into the AIU in my DCS System or have them separately powered. A lot of second guessing every step of the way.
that said, @Rich Melvin the first paragraph of your post put me at ease. That’s the mindset I must keep
