Has anyone taken this trip who could recommend the options to choose on the train and, what, if anything is worth laying over a week or so and then connecting with the following train the next week. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have never traveled the TSR nor have any desire to ever do it, but I do have more than 40,000 rail miles under my belt, mostly US cross-country, and strongly recommend that you NOT take the train straight through. It's about 5,772 miles long and takes about 7 days (or more if it gets behind schedule) from start to finish. I'd say to give it at least two layovers during the trip.

Here is a review of a trip that I'm sure you'll find interesting: Trans-Siberian Railway tour--Moscow to Vladivostok

Also, the TSR doesn't leave only once a week as you will see from this timetable: Trans-siberian trains timetable | Train tickets & Prices

If you wind up going, have a great trip and consider keeping notes so you can give us all a travelogue on your experiences!
