Wow, great minds think alike... when I saw that post, and another one about a
3vil monorail (sorry I can't find the post anymore) I immediately thought about
GBCs. I mentioned the idea of a GBC monorail to Steve last week, but after

carry them in hopper cars GBC train style
Well, off to bricklink to investigate further :)
