Yes, you can build a tram (or anything...) from scratch....
All you need is a plan, patience, tools, patience, materials, so' more patience, a budget far larger than you initially thought, patience, patience, patience.....

That looks fantastic! And your benchwork is so neat and tidy. I hope mine comes out that well.

Thanks for your comments guys...Very satisfying....
