and testing it with a dummy or something? Would death occur fast and nearly painless?

Yes, it's possible but it's very rare and takes a lot of planning and preparation as well as practical skills, money, seclusion and time.

Boyd Taylor was a famous case in the UK:

Horror as man uses guillotine to commit suicide

A shocked father discovered his son had beheaded himself with a home-made guillotine he had secretly erected in his bedroom.

There was a more recent case in the US:

California police discover skull of man thought to have killed himself by guillotine

Officers think a man died by suicide using his homemade contraption but his body went undiscovered for two years

Frankly, a neck placed on a railroad track and ran over by a train wheel practically has the same effect.

Well, unless you are a john kramer then I wouldn't do that. It needs knowledge and experience as well.

Yes, I made one when I was about 19 but was too gruesome and dismantled it.

That was 20 years ago so would be even easier now. Quick, peaceful and reliable but super gruesome.

Yes it's possible if you have the materials and the tools for this project. Y not?
