33 Years for me (us)... A few friends and I started the HO in 1982
1984 sold the Ho switched to N
1986 I moved out of the parent's house and the N scale became a 3' long shelf, switching layout
1992 got my own house, the wife gave me a G gauge starter set for our Fourth anniversary and we've been in G ever since
1999 re-did the entire layout (11 X 9) and started the ceiling part, finished in 2000
2007 Added a new section, a mine scene diorama type section under the bench work
2011 built a Z gauge briefcase layout - ran it a few years and sold it on e-bay
2013 added a 2 track siding/yard -- layout is now 13 X 9 and we added some scenery
2014 shored up the ceiling part and encased all the threaded rod with wood
2015 added a caved in mine section
Am I happy, absolutely!!! We still think of new things to add although we are running out of horizontal space
