how "complete" is your layout?

I'm always helping other people with theirs'! ops:

So this year I'm planning to do two small ones for myself. :thumb:

One N scal coffee table layout and one HO shunting layout that will be portable.

As said in another post, I will put picks up as I progress.

I have a home layout that I started in about 1993. I'm still only halfway through building it!
I also have a couple of baseboards nearly done for an exhibiton layout. And if that's not enough, I have been going through the initial stages of another exhibition layout with my fiance. On that one we have a few buildings completed and I'm about to make the first baseboards. Phew!!!

Hmm.. I'd say the Scenic Ridge layout was about 40-50% complete. That's up on the auction block and the new layout would be at like.... 1% maybe?

Still only in the planning stages at this point. Need to get the current plans posted. Going for a double level shelf layout (with probably a 3rd staging level).

100%,perfect,finished,done. Isn't it true that nothing can even POSIBLY be perfect? you could decide to move some things around, add a little more detail here & there, etc. The truth is, perfection is a goal, but one that can never be reached, for the likes and dislikes of the mind can vary as quickly as light travels. That's just my 2 cents in the matter. My vote was to how close my dad and are to geting it to look finished. I know that a "true railroad" is never done.

I was just thinking something along the same lines myself.
Is a layout ever truly "complete?"
It seems like you would always be finding little things to change and of course, there is always the addition of new rolling stock and locos.
