I sure hope that LEGO puts out another monorail set. I searched for over 2
years to find a reasonable cost version of the airport shuttle and finally

several copies!

| (...) Same here, I like the turning points at each station...forward stop or reverse. I think that in itself is noteworthy. I also like the fact that it is a super tie-in with the airport and town - you can seperate your airport from the rest of (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)
