I have enjoyed all of them over the years in the magazines and such.
Andy also wrote a few layouts himself I think back in the 60's for MR.
Another person that I have been reading about is Ian Rice from over the water in UK. His smallish railroads (Compared to a giant US one) is worth looking into and possibly scaling up to meet O gauge.
I plan to use sections at a time with a specific purpose. At the moment my design has literally started with two tracks. The engine house and the one next to it. Now I need a switch and so on.
I tend to build within the space as I see a opportunity to do it.
I learned from my HO Layout that finished does not mean finished. I changed track work quite a bit when operations revealed issues. For example.. where is that short run around? Why do I have to drive it all the way over there to run around for example.
