Here's what I came up with:
The monorail parts file separately models the up and down ramps. So layouts
containing up/down ramps have two part references, one for each half.
The toolbar file contains a button that adds both halves to the layout, since
99% of the time, this is what you want to do. However, they're two parts, so the
part additions to the layout can then be edited separately. If desired, the user
can add additional buttons to place the ramp halves down one at a time.
