Reinhard,
Given that you like to build a setting up to a certain level of detail, and then your interests change, it may be wise to retain the track plan, since it is more generic and fits more locations. That way you do not have to redo the difficult job of scraping up scenery, relaying track, and re-wiring. If I recall correctly, the current incarnation of your track plan is not but a year or so old, yes?
Perhaps another way of thinking is to find a location that has rail service, and has had it for a while without dramatic changes. That would allow you to switch buildings, scenery, and rolling stock, without having to alter the base, roadways, and track. And you could keep all the old structures so you could switch themes at your hearts desire.
