Hi Rob,

I built it for one of our train shows, in Orleans, France, November 2004. Orleans is the native town of the aerotrain, so I tought we should show one with LEGO bricks ;).



I used monorail base and motor to do it. I wanted to make a bigger one, with a full brick rail, but I hadn’t enough parts...

I made a Mlcad at this time



I should have it somewhere, if you want it, I can send it to you.
