Hi.
The answer, in my opinion is do what you like to do!! Some operators love running the layout as a real railway, in Model Rail there were some articles on Llandudno (hope thats spelt right!) junction. It listed a 24hr real time timetable performed in about eight hours. About four operators would meet for a day to run it right through, something that is quite common in the USA I think. That doesn't appeal to me though.
I like building models as much as I like running them and my layout(s) are more like working dioramas but I do operate a sequence on my mainline layout, but watching the trains go by is best I think!!
