Yea i wouldn't even think about pulling a 10 year sticker off it would be a
goner for sure.I like the design however.I at one time built a building for
my monorail trains to "park at night or to get repaired".I used my switch
track for a lead into the building then used some of my roll up garage
doors(bottom piece with handle notched to fit flush on track)to close it
up.It was made mostly of red with those 2x2 red windows and black roof
slopes.I hope to rebuild before our next train show.

This is a large station servicing both monorails and trains.

An overall shot is here:

I started out trying for an Art-Deco look, but I kept slapping on my
favorite strange piece, and now it doesn't really look like any • particular
architectural movement (at least of which I'm aware).  You can see • details
of the architecture in this large close-up (I used a lot of curved • half-arch
pieces):

In the rear of the building is a park & ride garage.  Also, note the
monorail control knob sticking out from the top of the building (its the • red
2x2 tile with a black arrow).  Surprisingly enough, this provides a very
solid, reliable way to control the monorail (using the reverse track
embedded in the building):

Looks pretty cool.One thing however as a fellow monorail person to another
you have the stickers on your little tower upside down.
The top lifts off to view the monorail loading area inside:

In this shot, you can see the two observation points (on the right side • of
the building).  The lower one serves the train track, while the upper one
(encased in glass) serves the monorail track.
