Does staring at your layout count?
I did this today and found that a couple sections of Warrenville are getting a little old in the tooth (over 15 years for Cape Warrenaveral and over 20 for a farm area section) and could use updating and refreshing.
I'm gonna start with a small expansion of Cape Warrenaveral - and fix its #175 Rocket Launcher (the vibrator string needs to either be replaced or re-routed on the pulleys), removal of the non space/military related #264 fork lift platform and replacing it with a #470 IRBM Missile launcher (actually, I'd prefer to find a couple launching mechanisms from this accessory or the 6650 IRBM missile launching car, and use them instead of a whole #470 - something else to look for at York next month), updating grassy/wooded areas with "asphalt" and general clean up.
First step will be the movement of the forklift loader from Cape Warrenaveral to the Warrenville Yards where it will replace a #164 Log Loader (I have no idea where I'll move that one to) and some general maintenance in that area.
When those areas are done, the farm area near Lisa-Marieville needs refreshing and updating. Maybe, if I can squeeze it in, I'll add a short siding and move its operating horse corral off the mainline to it.
Fall and winter layout projects - YEAH!
