Its looking good.  Have a suggestion: In the future if you decide to expand your layout, you may want to consider mounting the tortoise motors under the layout, and picking up some .062 wire (comes in 3ft lengths).  This wire holds up better than the standard wire supplied and allows you to adjust the positioning of installation.  Ill provide a picture example: <img id="fullsizeMedia" style="width:435.1px;height:580px;margin-top:0px;" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r486/BMMECNYC/close%20up_zpsfmhuopb3.jpg?t=1436403425" alt="Tortoise closeup with heavier wire photo close up_zpsfmhuopb3.jpg" width="435" height="580" />   <img id="fullsizeMedia" style="width:435.1px;height:580px;margin-top:0px;" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r486/BMMECNYC/3%20torti_zps3ggwwg5e.jpeg?t=1436403431" alt="3 torti photo 3 torti_zps3ggwwg5e.jpeg" width="435" height="580" /> Also of note, should the worst ever happen and you burn out one of these (I think my club has only had one that failed and that was a wiring error)  you can easily unscrew it and put a new one in its place without redoing trackwork or scenery.
