I had not seen that on brickshelf before. I am asuming the real thing
and the lego version both only go straight, correct?

Mine goes only straight, that’s right.
As mine is 6 wide, I cannot use the “stop track”. So I made a track without
the gear rack. Don’t forget to turn off the motor when it reach the end to
preserv the battery ;)
For the real one, hum, I believe it can turn. But the experimental track was
straight (or with very big radius curves).

Forgive me for butting into the convestation, but have you ever considered
building a pair of Mindstorm controlled round houses for your Aerotrain? You
could build a pair of passenger stations (one on each end of the track) that
were really facades around a roundhouse, and inside it a section of gear-less
track. When the train enters the station, a light sensor picks up the train,
turns on a motor to turn the track and the train around, and then some sort of
pushing arm moves the train back onto the track.
I don’t actually own any Monorail nor Mindstorms, so I have to live vicariously
through others.
