Any suggestions for a semi usable track system for moving small items around the house or office?

Most such systems are made for industry and very expensive.

Would be fun to make a railway that could move soft drinks around the building or pick items from the shed and deliver to the workshop.

have you considered lego? "L gauge" is a fun standard, plus having the extensibility and parts via lego is pretty amazing.

I thought Lego discontinued their train stuff... surprised to see it is still going.

Do you source real Lego or the Lego-compatible knock-off stuff e.g. Lepin? I'm not much of a lego guy, but I would think at house-scale it would get cost prohibitive pretty quickly to use genuine Lego unless there was a compelling reason to e.g. I don't know if the knock-off stuff is as structurally sound.

Lego seems to continually discontinue the trains and then release a new version with slightly different parts. Thankfully they tend to be backward compatible (but not always forward).

And no, I use real Lego parts. There is a huge quality difference, especially against lepin

FWIW there's a bar in Prague that delivers beers on trains.
