 | | Monorail Question —Nick Goetz
|
| | | I am hoping that someone can fill in the gap. I believe there are three monorail sets. I am aware of 6991 Unitron and 6399 Airport. Can someone please tell me what the third is. Thank You. -Nick (26 years ago, 29-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) 69xx is space. The Airport Shuttle is Town, hence 63xx (could've been 66xx or 65xx, but 6399 is where it came up at the time it was released). Since 6921 (accessory track) was released with the first shuttle (a space shuttle set), it has the (...) (26 years ago, 30-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) Well that's certainly the generally accepted theory. But to me, of course, the fact that they are Monorail trascends the theme and should have been the superior factor in deciding the numbering scheme to be used for the sets and the track (...)

| | | | | (...) Space Boy jumpin' in here... To me, the monorail sets definitely fall into "Space" and "Town" as themes (systems) because of their numberings and because of their constituent elements.

| | | | (...) 6399 is an Airport Shuttle. It has a hamburger stand and people with hair and "town torsos". Trees and park benches and street lights. It's a town set. To me, it's more a town set than it is a monorail set, really. "Town" defines it. 6990 and (...) (26 years ago, 31-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) Indeed. :-) - I concede your reasoning WRT the 2x4 Brick. My point being that a common, rare, element between sets will not define the type of set (for me, anyway).
