I know many people have already seen this Monorail from the rtlToronto Train2 pictures, but I've finally got around to taking some more detailed pictures of it. Its a monorail that uses blue 4.5v train track instead Lego's monorail track. Hence the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

Hi Derek, I indeed saw the pictures from rtlToronto Train2 and it inspired me to buy a whole bunch of blue and gray rails and try something similar. So it's nice to have some real detailed pictures of it! ;-) I'm gonna try to power the "track", so (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) You could power the track by using 12v conductor rails. That would actually let you cheat a bit, the suspension wheels could ride in the track between the conductors. You would have to use the old style 12v pickups to get power from the track. (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) and (...) Yes, that's a possibility, but ....I bougth a large amount of blue and gray track without the 12v conductor rails and you'd loose a major benefit of having 2 different radiusus or radii (whichever you prefer :-). Besides....I like a (...) (23 years ago, 13-May-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)
