You probably can't see but I'm missing an arm and a leg. Reason? That's
what it cost me to purchase the complete range of Monorail sets over the
last couple of years. I missed out when the sets were first released
between 1987 and 1994 because I was either too young to afford the sets or
in a dark ages at the time.
I remember seeing the monorail sets in a 1991 catalogue when I began to
re-emerge from the dark ages in 1994 and thinking what a silly looking set
it was. The entire set was probably bigger than the Town I had packed away
in 1989.
I only thought about adding the 6399 to Millennium City when somebody
mentioned to me that they were looking for a plate from that set. As I
recall, I had no idea what set the person was talking about when they said
they wanted the grey plate from #6399. What's 6399 I said to myself as I
checked out the Pause database. Low and behold, as soon as I saw it, I had
to get my hands on one.
It's my favourite set by a long stretch.

I...yes, I'm going to tell a story, I used to be into monorails ever
since I was a little kid. I got to ride on the one in Seatle when I
was eight. I thought it was awesome, so when the Futuron monorail
came out, I HAD to have it. It's still my favourite Space set. Then,
when the Airport monorail came it, I had to get it too.
Then...then...*starts to choke up* then the Unitron monorail came
out....AND I DIDN'T GET IT!! And, so, to this day, because TLG had to
release a monorail as I was entering my darkages, I was unable to be
monorail complete. *sigh*
Anyone willing to donate a Unitron monorail?

Body parts are a worthwhile trade for monorail parts!
