If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

1:1 scale railroading here!  Not model railroading.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Has anyone mounted a tortoise 800-6000 on top of the layout close to the turnout. My turnout is right over a joist (that I can not relocate or remove). I do not see how I can use the adapter etc. to mount the tortoise. Can I go through the backdrop with the wire to operate the turnout and will the tortoise stall correctly without damaging the machine? The wire will be about 6 inches long  from the machine to the turnout
