Hi All, I've got a whole slieu of train wheelbases and couplings and such, and I'd like to make a car or two for the show (By the way, Eric, I've got one building already - it needs one baseplate, you can put it anywhere.

(...) Shaun, I think what you have is old 4.5v train track. I think (but I don't have any so I don't know) the monorail track is 2 wide (maybe even wider) with a rail down the middle. Eric Kingsley (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) I have two pieces, I think. Are these the long gray 1xn (not sure how long) pieces that are gray, smooth on top, except for a single raised ridge that runs along its length?

Hello all, I know this is probably a long shot, but does anybody have any monorail track that we could use for the train layout? I was planning on bringing my airport shuttle, and trying to run it between the two train stations we have, and am (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
