Hi All,
From what i have heard, the main problem with the monorail sets is that the
motors cannot be made anymore. Why not re-release it unpowered? There are
enough smart folks here that could likely jury rig something if they wanted to,
and share the how-to with the rest of us. And i would rather have a push
monorail than none at all.
Heres the problem i see though:
- the track- if i recall, has teeth on its raised center bar, that mesh with
the motors teeth, allowing it to crawl along. The would prevent the easy
sliding of the set, unless the section where the motor would have contacted the
track is slightly modified (a wider opening or something?).
The lack of electronics/battery pack etc. may even be able to bring the set
price down.
Thoughts?
John
