I have been scanning some of the posts about prototype lines using

homegrown "do whatever it takes" mindset. There won't be any
"discussions" of where that rivet really was or what color was ____.
Just do it!
I am curious as to how turnouts were made with logs!
Some of the thoughts about building ____ posted here really boggles
my mind at times. You have already separated yourself from the "pack"
with a **considerable distance** by being an S Scaler. Add to it the
thoughts of making a very obscure functioning line with log tracks.
You must really like falling head first into a challenge!
Thank You,
