Permanent layouts have lost their allure, on reflection I now realize that I had the most enjoyment from temporary floor layouts always changing in track design to accomodate whims such as fetching cups of tea or packs of cigarettes etc.
If I could have it I'd want to start over with a desktop eye level shelf layout that ran around the entire house, except the bathrooms, unencumbered by any background or scenery and open to having constant track alterations.
To be convincing a train needs to disappear from sight and not emerge in a predictable position, perhaps a small room set aside for automated yard work or possibly endless loops to allow for constant changes of visible traffic apparently travelling long distances.
