I'm beginning to like this place.

Thanks for the welcome.

But what do you do once the layout is complete? I know the fun is building the sets and structures, but what happens after that?

For some, the fun is in the trip, for others,the fun is in the destination. For those of us that like to build, we may just like the task of creating our worlds and maybe run trains because it enhances our modeling skills. For those that like to run trains, they're happy when they get the tracks in place and run on the bare wood. There are those that are wrapped up in operations, or running their trains like they would on a real railroad. These sessions can be elaborate and involve may people taking on different roles. The whole idea is to be as realistic as you want to be in the world that you create. To each his own, there are enough aspects of model railroading that there has to be something to please us all. What you are thinking about doing is yet another aspect that sounds like fun.
