    I agree that planning the layout is the most challenging.You have one track layout planned and then you want to expand your table.Then you have to move or connect track in a different configuration or come up with all new track plans. I have been working on my N scale model railroad for four years and I changed my track layout 4 times.But once you get the layout you want which I finally have then its all downhill from there.
