No matter how well you design a layout on paper, when you build it and operate it, you will probably see areas to improve it. My plan is to build my layout, operate it, and once I'm satisfied with it's operation to then add ballast, scenery, etc. If you do a lot of scenery before you have done extensive operating on a layout, you may find that it is more difficult to make the changes that you need to make.
