When I designed my layout I had room to shoehorn in 2 more hidden storage tracks. I figured I'd never use them and did not include them in the final. Right now I really wish I'd have put them in.
It does not sound like 2 extra tracks will help you, though, Joe.
I look up to you. So I would never mean to make any rude comments. I have learned that you build as big as you can comfortably.
I built an engine yard and a car yard. They were both filled before emptying the boxes I had bought. So some stuff stayed under the table.
As soon as I built my old shed, it filled up. I just doubled it's size now and guess what? It's filled up. We expand into whatever space we have to use.
I built a large addition to the house. I thought at first it was too big. It took a few years to pay it down and fill it with furniture. Now it's just right.
The limits I set on myself are always temporary or a means to slow down with. These manufacturers keep making stuff that I need. It's truly amazing how much you I can spend on trains if you when I want. I admire the guys with rural scenery and just a few trains. Something in me wants big long trains with diesels shoving and smoke billowing! steamers too!
I don't ever think I'll win the contest. I just want to place.
