One of my other hobbies is Model Rocketry, and sometimes people design a rocket out of spare parts:

SPEV stands for Spare Parts Elimination Vehicle.  I've built a few rockets out of odds and ends--leftover balsa, tubes, nosecones-- and it can be fun coming up with something out of what's at hand:

So tonight I was looking at some track pieces I have laying around, and I started to wonder if I could make a SPEV switching layout.  Here's what I've got, all Code 83:

From left to right: 2 Atlas RH #6 Super switches, 2 Atlas LH #6 Super switches, Atlas Wye, 2 Atlas LH #4 Customline switches, 2 LH #4 Shinohara turnouts (one has been shortened), one Atlas LH Snap Switch.  I have a few leftover pieces of Code 83 Flex and Code 100 Flex.  

So what do you think?  Could a small shelf switching layout be made from some or all of these odds and ends?  Anyone want to give it a try?
