(...) The Monorail's hill climbing ability does make it more suitable for elevation changes, especially large ones to get up and over an obstruction. (...) I don't think it has to be an either/or. We can have both. Frank (22 years ago, 13-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

Hi, First, thanks to all for the positive feedback! Space Trains :-) sounds like an interesting idea! I wonder if we could define a "low rider" kind of train that could run under the corridors... I think this was part of the idea behind the (...) (22 years ago, 13-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
