Possibly the cheapest way to build in 7/8ths scale?

Ingenious and well crafted.

Well there's a design for a turnout lever Dave

Who says making track is difficult?


I do not know if you have seen this but I found it much more interesting

Very funny. Loved the video.

I seriously considered making a complete 32mm or 45mm railway set some years ago - laser cut from plywood. Very simple electric loco and a couple of simple goods vans. Dropped the idea as I considered the market to be tiny for something like that.

We spend all that time worrying about wheel and track standards and then someone comes along with a few bits of cardboard and some glue and gives us a lesson in common sense engineering!

You could up scale it to a suitcase rather than a small box should be able to put a 16mm loco in that. I am giving myself ideas now.
