Maybe you're in the planning stages of your layout construction, or maybe the track has been laid and you've been running trains for years. But theres this one area of the layout that you have no idea how you want to scenic. But you do know, you want something with alot of visual interest. Finally, you get an epiphany. In your mind, scenery and structures come together for the perfect solution. Then you try to test fit your plans together, or draw it all out, and you suddenly realize you aren't even close to having a fraction of space you really need to make your plans work.
I have my plans for rebuilding and expanding my HO layout, and there was this one area at one end of the layout that I wanted to develop. I got in my mind a certain look with specific structures I have on hand to create a small group of buildings to represent the edge of a small town. But, even with small structures, I realized after a test fit, it wouldn't work. I hate when that happens. I'm now trying to figure out a solution, since I now know exactly how I want the area to look.
