I also got back in the hobby with an MTH starter set. Didn't really have a lot of room for a layout and I set up a small temporary layout about 4'x7 or so.

Then I 'acquired' stuff for a couple of years until we moved. Now I have a 6'x16' layout, but have acquired way too much stuff for that size layout. The layout now needs to be 'expanded' to fit all the 'acquired' stuff. Sort of an 'endless loop'?

Good news is I haven't 'acquired' much in the last couple of years so maybe things will start to even out one of these days.

I haven't been able to part with any of the 'Acquired' stuff though, just can't seem to part with any of it just yet. Maybe someday that will happen as well. Problem is that would probably just lead to 'acquiring' different stuff with the funds from the sales of the other stuff and more 'endless loops'.
