Well, I think that I have no monorail. Everything here sounds fine though.
The only thing that I could ask for is that there be a provision for those
of us who are monorail-less. I'm not against using standard train track,
even though it's not quite as cool. I haven't seen any MOCs yet, but I'm
sure that we could build futuristic trains using the standard track.
Elevation changes would be out, but I'm sure that there are quite a few
ready made standards that we could snag from the .Trains group.
Opinions?
