Looks great, but technically, it does not seem to be a cassette.
A cassette usually only have one track laid in a U-shaped channel that is attached to the layout temporarily to run a train onto the layout or off the layout. When not in use, one or more cassettes usually just lies on a shelf somewhere.
What you have here is a great looking traverser (also called transfer table) - a flat "drawer" with tracks that can be moved sideways so a different track on the traverser aligns with a given track on the fixed part of the layout.
But it sure looks functional and well built.
