Sounds like you've got the right idea. When it stops being fun, walk away for a while. Then later do something for 'just 5 minutes', like cleaning the track or changing out wheelsets. If 5 minutes turns into an hour and it flies right by, great! If it feels like drudgery, walk away. Even the great modelers like John Allen had dry spells. But don't give up or tear it out until you have a new plan in mind. That way you'll still have this one to fuss with until you're ready - timewise, financially, etc. to launch the new venture. OR, be ready to work on small workbench projects until the next layout is up.
Glad there have been some good lessons learned, too. That's super-important. Fail Forward!
