What about this? http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=monorail

Monorail works in intervals of 10 bricks. --Bram

Ah... So that is where the idea came from. Well I have to wonder if the potential benefits of making 12 high intervals and simply adding the neccesary bricks to the monorail stanchions (given most of the track would be on the modules anyways, right?) would outweigh the limitations of 10 high intervals on the modules themselves. I see the whole point of 10 high now. That being to make multi-level monorail layouts line up. Now I am in a right pickle. 12 high is superior for the module itself but 10 high is better for monorail layouts. I guess I would have to lean toward 12 high as monorail is no longer made and has a limited ownership among active builders. (Most of the best modules haven’t had monorail anyway.) Well now there is at least some logical reason to discuss the issue.

(...) Exactly. I think the main reason there aren't more modules with connections for monorail is because there is no standard for adding it yet. A monorail adds a great deal of motion and interest for kids at a public display, Even though monorails (...) (21 years ago, 3-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)
