One can only hope but I suspect you'll find more things that need a bunch of work like wiring signals and such. Just when I think I'm done, I find something else that sends me under the layout for a few hours. My problem is Meniere's Disease. It's an inner ear disorder that makes you dizzy, especially when you're changing position and getting up and down a lot. There are times I need to rest for a half hour to get my balance back. The good thing is I can always explain crappy work by being too dizzy to do it right.
Dan, I find it quite reassuring to hear the Tortoise motor when I flip the switch. And as Rex said, it's not that loud.
Several years ago a few friends of mine and I made the trip to Saluda NC and the Saluda Grade. The turnouts at each end of the grade are electrically powered from Ashville. On the video I made of the day, I have a shot of the turnouts on one end being thrown. FWIW, the Tortise sounds just like this turnout on the video.
