Let's put it this way... If the wife comes in, there might be some freaking out.
On on the other end, I wish that I had that many projects!
No Matter the clutter, we always know exactly where everything is.
I feel your pain. I have just gone through a re-build of a major portion of the layout, including installing backdrops AFTER the benchwork is in place (HINT: Bad idea 
). The place was a disaster. It still has some clutter, but much of that has been removed and the room has been cleaned.
Trust me, once you get it cleaned up, you will feel much more energized about your projects. I like to use plastic bins as "project boxes". All the materials, photos, plans, etc. go into a project box so that I won't lose them. There are also boxes with general materials - trains cars, details, electrical components, etc.

that just looks like you're getting ready for some quality time for this winter.
Looks great and I bet you are happy. I have a bunch of projects and keep on buying more. Either I m slow on completing them or too quick on buying them. I have about 10 Lionel 112 gondola (I have the rubber stamps), just waiting for time to strip the deserving ones and do a repaint. They will look great as freight with a 117 caboose on the end. But first have to finish up a #8 loco and two 35 and one 36 coaches (these are in the works. Plus I have a bunch of prewar O and post war that each model is in its own plastic tubs (all marked with the parts inside) and are at various stages of rebuilds. Will complete some and I do not care if all get all done or not, as long as I have fun.
Jagrick, what is this engine, O, Standard? Does not look like a #8 or a 248?
Looks interesting.
Thanks:
Ron

That is a 9e shell. It is like an ispy game 
Below it is an ives transition. Piece with a die cast frame and a 248 body
that looks like the kind of place I's like to browse.....
This would make a great game, name the train with the make and model?

I think your first priority should be fixing the clock so you can keep track of time while working on everything else. 
no need for that if he's married....."you gonna be down there all night messing with those trains?"

Also a cattle corral from the 3656 if I'm seeing that right?
Yep, one of those in there.
Sell the clock to me and then you'll have one less project!
This is the sort of thing my wife says gets me into trouble :-) I can't even see 3/4 of the clock, I see just enough to know I like it, how crazy is that!
Very cool project piles if you ask me...keeps a guy young!
Thanks guys.......I feel much better now...
......and I thought I had projects!
(shows wife the photos!)
