Oh not too worry...I didn't take that "wrong"...not at all. 
I'm the first to admit that I'm not that great at designing a layout. This is my second layout construction, and in some ways, I see I've made the same mistakes I made on the first one. I would have loved more changes to the topography, but with the ceiling looming overhead on an angle, there's only so much you can do to change the lay of the land while still being able to get your hand to an area to fix a derailment or add scenery. And, like always, I laid too much track. 
I wanted as many places to park cars for the boys as possible...and maybe I over did it by a track or two. Ah well...it's a learning process.
