I think my brain has experienced an overload of railroading. Let me explain.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been plowing ahead with constructing staging, building the lift, installing the new cabinets, doing track work, wiring staging turnouts, installed tortoise and wiring, installed feeders, and put down scenery.  I’ve also been in this “I can’t stop thinking about the layout mode” where it seems like I’m brainstorming a hundred different ideas for a hundred parts of the layout all day, every day.

This evening I put down some scenery, followed by gluing down some cork roadbed, and sorta had this “what should I do next? how about this? how about that? or this.. or this…”.  It’s like I just couldn’t make a decision on what I wanted to do.

In other words, tonight I hit that burnout phase like a ton of bricks.  You may have had the same moment before where you have so many things on the to-do list but you almost just feel overwhelmed about it all.  So tonight, I’m taking a step back from the layout for a days to let the brain recover, let ideas simmer for awhile, and start afresh soon.

Since I’m planning on not doing anything layout related for the weekend at a minimum, I took a few minutes tonight to record a sorta flyover-ish video of the layout. Nothing exciting, but gives you a look at how things are going.

Hope you enjoy, and see ya soon.
