Wow! Your Swiss layout is amazing Mol! However, I think the point you raise is one of the real problems with such an ambitious/large project as a home layout. And conversely why micro layouts have become so popular. Not just the space saving aspect, but the fact that you can see progress with a couple of hours work. I admire anyone who can stick to a 'lifetime' layout project. Though I just don't have the mentality, willpower, or concentration to do so. I flit around like a butterfly and have no stickability! When you're young, you're not so restricted by realism, but nowadays I understand it's pointless starting something that I know I'll never finish. Hence any notion of a reasonably sized layout being shelved a long time ago! Maybe that's a little sad, but sometimes reality comes with age. -

If my memory serves correct (it often doesn't!), Chris Ellis designed and built the Warren Branch (I think that's what it was called), along these lines. I'm not sure where it was published but I seen it referenced many times, and have seen extracts of a few articles and some photos over the years. -
Great to see it in real life. Modelling of buildings, loco's, coaches and scenery were all top level. 🚂 -

I think the old-school approach of having one vehicle powered with all the DCC and sound gubbins, and the other completely unpowered, bar perhaps a pick-up for lighting, would be the best or only option here. -

I have lots of time on my hands. I find modelling is very theraputic. When I'm working on a model, my own troubles and the troubles of the world are far away.
