Yes, i do a bit od scratchbuilding - if I'm no building something or 3 somethings, I'm either out of the country, to sick to get up and down the steps, or my muse has departed (again....). I build, therefore I am!

All of my drives are insulated and I'll be able to switch between track or overhead to operate when completed. I've done that so that I run stuff now as putting in the overhead will be one of the last things I do on this layout.
