From what I remember of my old-style railway tracks, it is. Lego
themselves did a monorail this way once:
-> http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6970/6970-08.jpg
although it didn't have curves. The other problem is that, if you're not
a train fan, coming by curves can be quite tricky, although you could do
a large monorail with a couple of straight and curved track sets. (Are
these S@H only in the US?)
